# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Routt County, Colorado — 1,068

> The 1,068 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Routt County. Median depth 29 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Routt County

**1,068** of the 7,264 well permits in Routt County — 14.7% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Routt County holds 1.2% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 1.2% of the register overall — so it is
**under-represented** in this
use.

Monitoring/sampling means not a water supply at all — a hole drilled to watch the groundwater. These sit on the same register and are not wells anyone drinks from.

*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 | **29 ft** | 399 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (587 permits, 55 %) |
| Yield | **98 gpm** | 98 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (2 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **16 ft** | 130 ft | 58 ft — lower here (304 permits, 28 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**496** of the 1,068 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Routt County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 46.4%. And
**392** expired without one: 36.7%.

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.
