# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Mesa County, Colorado — 2,522

> The 2,522 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Mesa County. Median depth 20 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Mesa County

**2,522** of the 6,494 well permits in Mesa County — 38.8% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Mesa County holds 2.8% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 1.1% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Monitoring/sampling means not a water supply at all — a hole drilled to watch the groundwater. These sit on the same register and are not wells anyone drinks from.

*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 | **20 ft** | 46 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,477 permits, 59 %) |
| Yield | **7 gpm** | 7 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (2 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **12 ft** | 33 ft | 58 ft — lower here (478 permits, 19 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,009** of the 2,522 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Mesa County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 40.0%. And
**817** expired without one: 32.4%.

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.
