# Household Use Only well permits in Custer County, Colorado — 3,056

> The 3,056 wells permitted for household use only in Custer County. Median depth 225 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Custer County

**3,056** of the 6,916 well permits in Custer County — 44.2% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Custer County holds 2.9% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 1.2% 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 | **225 ft** | 465 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (2,296 permits, 75 %) |
| Yield | **7 gpm** | 14 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (1,379 permits, 45 %) |
| Static water level | **60 ft** | 160 ft | 58 ft — higher here (2,242 permits, 73 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**2,099** of the 3,056 permits decreed for household use only in Custer County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 68.7%. And
**494** expired without one: 16.2%.

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.
