# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Adams County, Colorado — 9,123

> The 9,123 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Adams County. Median depth 25 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Adams County

**9,123** of the 26,561 well permits in Adams County — 34.3% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Adams County holds 10.0% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 4.4% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Monitoring/sampling means not a water supply at all — a hole drilled to watch the groundwater. These sit on the same register and are not wells anyone drinks from.

*Medians, on the permits where the Division was told — never a mean, which a few industrial wells would carry away*

| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Colorado median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | **25 ft** | 50 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (5,394 permits, 59 %) |
| Yield | **56 gpm** | 63 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (11 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **16 ft** | 44 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,302 permits, 14 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**4,369** of the 9,123 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Adams County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 47.9%. And
**2,009** expired without one: 22.0%.

An expired permit is the trap in a rural sale. A seller can
produce a permit that lapsed years ago, and a permit is not a water right
— the two are separate, and a purchase turns on both.
