Domestic wells in Conejos County
3,242 of the 5,774 well permits in Conejos County — 56.1% — are decreed for domestic.
How this group compares
Conejos County holds 1.3% of Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while holding 1.0% 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.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Colorado median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 90 ft | 240 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (2,385 permits, 74 %) |
| Yield | 13 gpm | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (467 permits, 14 %) |
| Static water level | 22 ft | 161 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,469 permits, 45 %) |
What happened to these permits
2,065 of the 3,242 permits decreed for domestic in Conejos County ended with a well the Division was told about — 63.7%. And 377 expired without one: 11.6%.
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.
