# Irrigation well permits in El Paso County, Colorado — 1,164

> The 1,164 wells permitted for irrigation in El Paso County. Median depth 70 feet.

## Irrigation wells in El Paso County

**1,164** of the 46,491 well permits in El Paso County — 2.5% — are decreed for irrigation.

### How this group compares

El Paso County holds 2.4% of
Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while
holding 7.7% of the register overall — so it is
**under-represented** in this
use.

Irrigation means watering land, at the volume the permit allows.

*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 | **70 ft** | 200 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (712 permits, 61 %) |
| Yield | **180 gpm** | 700 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (173 permits, 15 %) |
| Static water level | **28 ft** | 110 ft | 58 ft — lower here (512 permits, 44 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**461** of the 1,164 permits decreed for irrigation in El Paso County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 39.6%. And
**122** expired without one: 10.5%.

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.
