# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Morgan County, Colorado — 1,103

> The 1,103 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Morgan County. Median depth 48 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Morgan County

**1,103** of the 9,779 well permits in Morgan County — 11.3% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Morgan County holds 1.2% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 1.6% of the register overall — so it is
**under-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 | **48 ft** | 128 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (592 permits, 54 %) |
| Yield | **320 gpm** | 1720 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (4 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **26 ft** | 54 ft | 58 ft — lower here (220 permits, 20 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**443** of the 1,103 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Morgan County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 40.2%. And
**366** expired without one: 33.2%.

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.
