# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Garfield County, Colorado — 3,038

> The 3,038 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Garfield County. Median depth 52 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Garfield County

**3,038** of the 12,165 well permits in Garfield County — 25.0% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Garfield County holds 3.3% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 2.0% of the register overall — so it is
**over-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 | **52 ft** | 260 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,835 permits, 60 %) |
| Yield | **15 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (5 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **46 ft** | 172 ft | 58 ft — lower here (879 permits, 29 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,379** of the 3,038 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Garfield County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 45.4%. And
**1,040** expired without one: 34.2%.

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.
