How deep people drill in Logan County
This is the part a buyer actually wants, and it is not published anywhere else. The figures below are medians over the permits where the Division was told — a mean would be carried away by a handful of industrial wells.
| Measurement | Median | 90th percentile | Colorado median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depth | 88 ft | 321 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (6,528 permits, 70 %) |
| Yield | 15 gpm | 1300 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (1,831 permits, 20 %) |
| Static water level | 30 ft | 160 ft | 58 ft — lower here (4,866 permits, 52 %) |
What the permits allow
A well permit is not a general right to water: it names what the water may be used for, and the narrowest of them — household use only — means inside the house and nothing else.

What happened to these permits
5,578 of the 9,308 permits in Logan County ended with a well the Division was told about — 59.9%. And 856 expired without one: 9.2%.
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.
