# Domestic well permits in Pitkin County, Colorado — 2,295

> The 2,295 wells permitted for domestic in Pitkin County. Median depth 103 feet.

## Domestic wells in Pitkin County

**2,295** of the 4,805 well permits in Pitkin County — 47.8% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Pitkin County holds 0.9% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 0.8% 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 | **103 ft** | 360 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (1,557 permits, 68 %) |
| Yield | **15 gpm** | 25 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (536 permits, 23 %) |
| Static water level | **50 ft** | 163 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,335 permits, 58 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,213** of the 2,295 permits decreed for domestic in Pitkin County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 52.9%. And
**419** expired without one: 18.3%.

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.
