# Domestic well permits in Douglas County, Colorado — 13,804

> The 13,804 wells permitted for domestic in Douglas County. Median depth 385 feet.

## Domestic wells in Douglas County

**13,804** of the 22,500 well permits in Douglas County — 61.4% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Douglas County holds 5.7% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 3.7% 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.

*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 | **385 ft** | 720 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (9,659 permits, 70 %) |
| Yield | **12.2 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (6,517 permits, 47 %) |
| Static water level | **177 ft** | 438 ft | 58 ft — higher here (9,680 permits, 70 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**8,733** of the 13,804 permits decreed for domestic in Douglas County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 63.3%. And
**1,777** expired without one: 12.9%.

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.
