Domestic wells in Morgan County

3,592 of the 9,779 well permits in Morgan County — 36.7% — are decreed for domestic.

How this group compares

Morgan County holds 1.5% of Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while holding 1.6% of the register overall — so it is under-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	90 ft	175 ft	148 ft — shallower here (2,718 permits, 76 %)
Yield	15 gpm	15 gpm	10 gpm — higher here (785 permits, 22 %)
Static water level	38 ft	90 ft	58 ft — lower here (2,177 permits, 61 %)

What happened to these permits

2,574 of the 3,592 permits decreed for domestic in Morgan County ended with a well the Division was told about — 71.7%. And 182 expired without one: 5.1%.

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.
