# Domestic well permits in La Plata County, Colorado — 10,644

> The 10,644 wells permitted for domestic in La Plata County. Median depth 154 feet.

## Domestic wells in La Plata County

**10,644** of the 18,518 well permits in La Plata County — 57.5% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

La Plata County holds 4.4% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 3.1% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Domestic means household water, and usually a little more — the commonest decreed use in Colorado by a wide margin.

*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 | **154 ft** | 332 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (7,691 permits, 72 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (1,783 permits, 17 %) |
| Static water level | **42 ft** | 133 ft | 58 ft — lower here (6,255 permits, 59 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**6,542** of the 10,644 permits decreed for domestic in La Plata County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 61.5%. And
**2,356** expired without one: 22.1%.

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.
