> The 1,399 wells permitted for household use only in Rio Grande County. Median depth 100 feet.

## Household Use Only wells in Rio Grande County

**1,399** of the 9,833 well permits in Rio Grande County — 14.2% — are decreed for household use only.

### How this group compares

Rio Grande County holds 1.3% of
Colorado’s 105,372 household use only permits, while
holding 1.6% of the register overall — so it is
**under-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 | **100 ft** | 350 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (982 permits, 70 %) |
| Yield | **12 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (420 permits, 30 %) |
| Static water level | **28 ft** | 120 ft | 58 ft — lower here (899 permits, 64 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**875** of the 1,399 permits decreed for household use only in Rio Grande County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 62.5%. And
**231** expired without one: 16.5%.

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.
