> The 2,799 wells permitted for household use only in Gilpin County. Median depth 300 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Gilpin County

**2,799** of the 4,606 well permits in Gilpin County — 60.8% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Gilpin County holds 2.7% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 0.8% of the register overall — so it is
**over-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 | **300 ft** | 560 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (2,108 permits, 75 %) |
| Yield | **7 gpm** | 12 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (1,134 permits, 41 %) |
| Static water level | **45 ft** | 124 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,984 permits, 71 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**2,005** of the 2,799 permits decreed for household use only in Gilpin County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 71.6%. And
**463** expired without one: 16.5%.

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.
