# Household Use Only well permits in Boulder County, Colorado — 5,582

> The 5,582 wells permitted for household use only in Boulder County. Median depth 340 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Boulder County

**5,582** of the 20,791 well permits in Boulder County — 26.8% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Boulder County holds 5.3% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 3.5% of the register overall — so it is
**over-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 | **340 ft** | 602 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (3,782 permits, 68 %) |
| Yield | **7 gpm** | 14 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (2,246 permits, 40 %) |
| Static water level | **49 ft** | 200 ft | 58 ft — lower here (3,506 permits, 63 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**3,505** of the 5,582 permits decreed for household use only in Boulder County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 62.8%. And
**1,116** expired without one: 20.0%.

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.
