# Domestic well permits in Routt County, Colorado — 4,390

> The 4,390 wells permitted for domestic in Routt County. Median depth 200 feet.

## Domestic wells in Routt County

**4,390** of the 7,264 well permits in Routt County — 60.4% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Routt County holds 1.8% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 1.2% 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 | **200 ft** | 540 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (2,956 permits, 67 %) |
| Yield | **8 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — lower here (1,114 permits, 25 %) |
| Static water level | **50 ft** | 200 ft | 58 ft — lower here (2,408 permits, 55 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**2,661** of the 4,390 permits decreed for domestic in Routt County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 60.6%. And
**877** expired without one: 20.0%.

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.
