Domestic wells in Clear Creek County

1,443 of the 5,556 well permits in Clear Creek County — 26.0% — are decreed for domestic.

How this group compares

Clear Creek County holds 0.6% of Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while holding 0.9% 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	140 ft	475 ft	148 ft — shallower here (1,015 permits, 70 %)
Yield	7 gpm	13.1 gpm	10 gpm — lower here (250 permits, 17 %)
Static water level	50 ft	135 ft	58 ft — lower here (854 permits, 59 %)

What happened to these permits

911 of the 1,443 permits decreed for domestic in Clear Creek County ended with a well the Division was told about — 63.1%. And 160 expired without one: 11.1%.

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. What an expired permit does and does not mean.
