### How deep people drill in Fremont County

This is the part a buyer actually wants, and it is not published anywhere else. The figures below are medians over the permits where the Division was told — a mean would be carried away by a handful of industrial wells.

*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 | **180 ft** | 500 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (7,111 permits, 69 %) |
| Yield | **7 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (3,292 permits, 32 %) |
| Static water level | **60 ft** | 200 ft | 58 ft — higher here (6,047 permits, 58 %) |

### What the permits allow

A well permit is not a general right to water: it names what the water may be used for, and the narrowest of them — household use only — means inside the house and nothing else.

| Decreed use | Permits | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Domestic](/county/fremont/domestic.md) | 5,023 | 48.5% |

### What happened to these permits

**6,262** of the 10,353 permits in Fremont County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 60.5%. And
**1,955** expired without one: 18.9%.

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.
