# Domestic well permits in Moffat County, Colorado — 2,208

> The 2,208 wells permitted for domestic in Moffat County. Median depth 250 feet.

## Domestic wells in Moffat County

**2,208** of the 4,379 well permits in Moffat County — 50.4% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Moffat County holds 0.9% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 0.7% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Domestic means household water, and usually a little more — the commonest decreed use in Colorado by a wide margin.

*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 | **250 ft** | 480 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (1,554 permits, 70 %) |
| Yield | **8 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (354 permits, 16 %) |
| Static water level | **60 ft** | 196 ft | 58 ft — higher here (1,185 permits, 54 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,449** of the 2,208 permits decreed for domestic in Moffat County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 65.6%. And
**386** expired without one: 17.5%.

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.

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

2,208 well permits are on the Division’s register in Moffat County, 386 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).
