Medians, on the permits where the Division was told — never a mean, which a few industrial wells would carry away

What happened to these permits

876 of the 1,309 permits decreed for stock in Las Animas County ended with a well the Division was told about — 66.9%. And 203 expired without one: 15.5%.

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. What an expired permit does and does not mean.
