> The 1,102 wells permitted for household use only in Alamosa County. Median depth 80 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Alamosa County

**1,102** of the 10,088 well permits in Alamosa County — 10.9% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Alamosa County holds 1.0% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 1.7% of the register overall — so it is
**under-represented** in this
use.

Household Use Only means the narrowest domestic permit there is: water inside the house, and nothing else. No lawn, no livestock, no garden. It is the use most often misunderstood by a buyer who assumes a well means water for the land.

*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 | **80 ft** | 220 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (692 permits, 63 %) |
| Yield | **13 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (289 permits, 26 %) |
| Static water level | **12 ft** | 42 ft | 58 ft — lower here (594 permits, 54 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**615** of the 1,102 permits decreed for household use only in Alamosa County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 55.8%. And
**258** expired without one: 23.4%.

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.
