> The 1,064 wells permitted for household use only in Pitkin County. Median depth 106 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Pitkin County

**1,064** of the 4,805 well permits in Pitkin County — 22.1% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Pitkin County holds 1.0% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 0.8% of the register overall — so it is
**over-represented** in this
use.

Household Use Only means the narrowest domestic permit there is: water inside the house, and nothing else. No lawn, no livestock, no garden. It is the use most often misunderstood by a buyer who assumes a well means water for the land.

*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 | **106 ft** | 380 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (658 permits, 62 %) |
| Yield | **15 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (284 permits, 27 %) |
| Static water level | **50 ft** | 180 ft | 58 ft — lower here (617 permits, 58 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**510** of the 1,064 permits decreed for household use only in Pitkin County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 47.9%. And
**280** expired without one: 26.3%.

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.
