# Monitoring/sampling well permits in El Paso County, Colorado — 5,469

> The 5,469 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in El Paso County. Median depth 30 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in El Paso County

**5,469** of the 46,491 well permits in El Paso County — 11.8% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

El Paso County holds 6.0% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 7.7% of the register overall — so it is
**under-represented** in this
use.

Monitoring/sampling means not a water supply at all — a hole drilled to watch the groundwater. These sit on the same register and are not wells anyone drinks from.

*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 | **30 ft** | 76 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (3,251 permits, 59 %) |
| Yield | **250 gpm** | 250 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (1 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **26 ft** | 81 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,036 permits, 19 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**2,310** of the 5,469 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in El Paso County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 42.2%. And
**1,574** expired without one: 28.8%.

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.
