# Commercial well permits in La Plata County, Colorado — 1,103

> The 1,103 wells permitted for commercial in La Plata County. Median depth 150 feet.

## Commercial wells in La Plata County

**1,103** of the 18,518 well permits in La Plata County — 6.0% — are decreed for commercial.

### How this group compares

La Plata County holds 4.9% of
Colorado’s 22,356 commercial permits, while
holding 3.1% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Commercial means water for a business.

*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 | **150 ft** | 361 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (676 permits, 61 %) |
| Yield | **15 gpm** | 70 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (302 permits, 27 %) |
| Static water level | **38 ft** | 120 ft | 58 ft — lower here (508 permits, 46 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**633** of the 1,103 permits decreed for commercial in La Plata County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 57.4%. And
**221** expired without one: 20.0%.

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.
