> The 2,545 wells permitted for household use only in La Plata County. Median depth 170 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in La Plata County

**2,545** of the 18,518 well permits in La Plata County — 13.7% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

La Plata County holds 2.4% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 3.1% 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 | **170 ft** | 410 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (1,709 permits, 67 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (448 permits, 18 %) |
| Static water level | **51 ft** | 190 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,520 permits, 60 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,456** of the 2,545 permits decreed for household use only in La Plata County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 57.2%. And
**640** expired without one: 25.1%.

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.
