# Domestic well permits in Rio Grande County, Colorado — 4,314

> The 4,314 wells permitted for domestic in Rio Grande County. Median depth 110 feet.

## Domestic wells in Rio Grande County

**4,314** of the 9,833 well permits in Rio Grande County — 43.9% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Rio Grande County holds 1.8% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 1.6% 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 | **110 ft** | 345 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (3,248 permits, 75 %) |
| Yield | **15 gpm** | 20 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (1,121 permits, 26 %) |
| Static water level | **26 ft** | 124 ft | 58 ft — lower here (2,267 permits, 53 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**2,858** of the 4,314 permits decreed for domestic in Rio Grande County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 66.2%. And
**511** expired without one: 11.8%.

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.
