### How deep people drill in Crowley 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 | **40 ft** | 104 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (782 permits, 71 %) |
| Yield | **45 gpm** | 745 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (77 permits, 7 %) |
| Static water level | **19 ft** | 80 ft | 58 ft — lower here (469 permits, 43 %) |

### 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.

| Decreed use | Permits | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Domestic](/use/domestic.md) | 373 | 33.9% |
| [Stock](/use/stock.md) | 297 | 27.0% |

### What happened to these permits

**716** of the 1,099 permits in Crowley County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 65.2%. And
**136** expired without one: 12.4%.

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.
