# Domestic well permits in Archuleta County, Colorado — 2,053

> The 2,053 wells permitted for domestic in Archuleta County. Median depth 128 feet.

## Domestic wells in Archuleta County

**2,053** of the 3,805 well permits in Archuleta County — 54.0% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Archuleta County holds 0.8% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 0.6% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Domestic means household water, and usually a little more — the commonest decreed use in Colorado by a wide margin.

*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 | **128 ft** | 400 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,472 permits, 72 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (583 permits, 28 %) |
| Static water level | **36 ft** | 175 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,279 permits, 62 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,297** of the 2,053 permits decreed for domestic in Archuleta County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 63.2%. And
**457** expired without one: 22.3%.

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.
