> The 1,443 wells permitted for household use only in Garfield County. Median depth 135 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Garfield County

**1,443** of the 12,165 well permits in Garfield County — 11.9% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Garfield County holds 1.4% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 2.0% 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 | **135 ft** | 268 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (937 permits, 65 %) |
| Yield | **14 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (410 permits, 28 %) |
| Static water level | **50 ft** | 160 ft | 58 ft — lower here (876 permits, 61 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**669** of the 1,443 permits decreed for household use only in Garfield County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 46.4%. And
**334** expired without one: 23.1%.

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.
