# Domestic well permits in Montezuma County, Colorado — 1,031

> The 1,031 wells permitted for domestic in Montezuma County. Median depth 114 feet.

## Domestic wells in Montezuma County

**1,031** of the 2,111 well permits in Montezuma County — 48.8% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Montezuma County holds 0.4% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 0.4% 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 | **114 ft** | 380 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (728 permits, 71 %) |
| Yield | **10 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — the same here (152 permits, 15 %) |
| Static water level | **35 ft** | 160 ft | 58 ft — lower here (597 permits, 58 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**658** of the 1,031 permits decreed for domestic in Montezuma County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 63.8%. And
**214** expired without one: 20.8%.

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.
