  water system that serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round
  residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. The term

  a significant occurrence of insects, macroorganisms, algae, or large-diameter
  pathogens such as
Giardia lamblia
or
Cryptosporidium
, or significant and relatively rapid shifts in
  water quality characteristics such as turbidity, temperature, conductivity, or
  pH that closely correlate to climatological or surface water conditions. The
  department makes a GWUDISW determination based on site-specific water quality
  measurements and information specific to the water source and
  geology;
(4) "Nontransient,
  noncommunity water system," "NTNC," a public water system that is not a

  compliance of a public water system for the purpose of evaluating the adequacy

  the direct influence of surface water before treatment as a Type H system. Type
  S systems include consecutive systems receiving finished groundwater.
