# Domestic well permits in Rio Blanco County, Colorado — 1,195

> The 1,195 wells permitted for domestic in Rio Blanco County. Median depth 85 feet.

## Domestic wells in Rio Blanco County

**1,195** of the 3,486 well permits in Rio Blanco County — 34.3% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Rio Blanco County holds 0.5% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 0.6% 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 | **85 ft** | 300 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (700 permits, 59 %) |
| Yield | **12 gpm** | 17 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (196 permits, 16 %) |
| Static water level | **30 ft** | 115 ft | 58 ft — lower here (533 permits, 45 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**652** of the 1,195 permits decreed for domestic in Rio Blanco County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 54.6%. And
**250** expired without one: 20.9%.

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.
