# Household Use Only well permits in Douglas County, Colorado — 1,632

> The 1,632 wells permitted for household use only in Douglas County. Median depth 375 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Douglas County

**1,632** of the 22,500 well permits in Douglas County — 7.3% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Douglas County holds 1.5% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 3.7% of the register overall — so it is
**under-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 | **375 ft** | 650 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (1,085 permits, 66 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (813 permits, 50 %) |
| Static water level | **140 ft** | 360 ft | 58 ft — higher here (1,070 permits, 66 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**989** of the 1,632 permits decreed for household use only in Douglas County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 60.6%. And
**267** expired without one: 16.4%.

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.
