### How deep people drill in Broomfield County

This is the part a buyer actually wants, and it is not published anywhere else. The figures below are medians over the permits where the Division was told — a mean would be carried away by a handful of industrial wells.

*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 | **34 ft** | 880 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (622 permits, 55 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (77 permits, 7 %) |
| Static water level | **30 ft** | 500 ft | 58 ft — lower here (312 permits, 28 %) |

### What the permits allow

A well permit is not a general right to water: it names what the water may be used for, and the narrowest of them — household use only — means inside the house and nothing else.

### What happened to these permits

**503** of the 1,127 permits in Broomfield County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 44.6%. And
**244** expired without one: 21.7%.

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.
