# Household Use Only well permits in Lake County, Colorado — 1,456

> The 1,456 wells permitted for household use only in Lake County. Median depth 126 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Lake County

**1,456** of the 2,756 well permits in Lake County — 52.8% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Lake County holds 1.4% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 0.5% 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 | **126 ft** | 340 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (989 permits, 68 %) |
| Yield | **9 gpm** | 14 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (534 permits, 37 %) |
| Static water level | **74 ft** | 231 ft | 58 ft — higher here (938 permits, 64 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**895** of the 1,456 permits decreed for household use only in Lake County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 61.5%. And
**306** expired without one: 21.0%.

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.

### Buying land in Lake County, or need a well drilled?

1,456 well permits are on the Division’s register in Lake County, 306 of them expired. This site tells you what a permit says; it does not drill, and it is not advice on a water right. Tell us where and we pass the request to drillers and water-rights advisers working in Colorado.

We take no commission and we recommend no driller. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. [What we do with this](/privacy.md).
