# Domestic well permits in Boulder County, Colorado — 8,225

> The 8,225 wells permitted for domestic in Boulder County. Median depth 130 feet.

## Domestic wells in Boulder County

**8,225** of the 20,791 well permits in Boulder County — 39.6% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Boulder County holds 3.4% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 3.5% of the register overall — so it is
**under-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 | **130 ft** | 460 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (6,132 permits, 75 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (1,484 permits, 18 %) |
| Static water level | **25 ft** | 128 ft | 58 ft — lower here (5,048 permits, 61 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**5,594** of the 8,225 permits decreed for domestic in Boulder County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 68.0%. And
**750** expired without one: 9.1%.

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.

| Permit Canceled | 262 | 3.2% |
| Pump Installed, No Construction Info Received | 191 | 2.3% |
