### How deep people drill in Park County

This is the part a buyer actually wants, and it is not published anywhere else. The figures below are medians over the permits where the Division was told — a mean would be carried away by a handful of industrial wells.

*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 | **240 ft** | 520 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (16,402 permits, 72 %) |
| Yield | **5.7 gpm** | 12.5 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (9,587 permits, 42 %) |
| Static water level | **63 ft** | 190 ft | 58 ft — higher here (15,225 permits, 66 %) |

### What the permits allow

A well permit is not a general right to water: it names what the water may be used for, and the narrowest of them — household use only — means inside the house and nothing else.

| Decreed use | Permits | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Household Use Only](/county/park/household-use-only.md) | 14,356 | 62.6% |
| [Domestic](/county/park/domestic.md) | 6,433 | 28.1% |

### What happened to these permits

**14,838** of the 22,930 permits in Park County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 64.7%. And
**4,456** expired without one: 19.4%.

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.
