5 Does the system serve a Residential population?N
6 Does the system serve a Transient population? (A transient population is a rotating
population that is served by a water system that does not remain in the jurisdiction of
the water system for long periods of time. Examples of a transient population include,
but are not limited to, campers at a campground, users of a highway rest stop, skiers
at a ski resort, guests at a hotel, or patrons of a restaurant or a shopping center.)
N
7 Does the system serve a Non-Transient population? (A non-transient population is a
population served by a water system that is the same population being served by the
system for at least six months of the year, but is not a resident in the system.
Examples of a non-transient population include, but are not limited to, employees of a
restaurant, shop, or ski resort; teachers and students at a school, day-care center, or
church; doctors, nurses, and other employees at a hospital or healthcare clinic.)
