> The 1,399 wells permitted for household use only in Costilla County. Median depth 170 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Costilla County

**1,399** of the 4,256 well permits in Costilla County — 32.9% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Costilla County holds 1.3% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 0.7% 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 | **170 ft** | 340 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (879 permits, 63 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (560 permits, 40 %) |
| Static water level | **63 ft** | 190 ft | 58 ft — higher here (848 permits, 61 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**824** of the 1,399 permits decreed for household use only in Costilla County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 58.9%. And
**365** expired without one: 26.1%.

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.
