# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Montrose County, Colorado — 1,173

> The 1,173 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Montrose County. Median depth 30 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Montrose County

**1,173** of the 3,965 well permits in Montrose County — 29.6% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Montrose County holds 1.3% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 0.7% 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 | **30 ft** | 240 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (702 permits, 60 %) |
| Yield | **5 gpm** | 18 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (7 permits, 1 %) |
| Static water level | **22 ft** | 164 ft | 58 ft — lower here (269 permits, 23 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**495** of the 1,173 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Montrose County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 42.2%. And
**255** expired without one: 21.7%.

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.

| Permit Canceled | 10 | 0.9% |
| Application Received | 5 | 0.4% |
