# Domestic well permits in Saguache County, Colorado — 3,063

> The 3,063 wells permitted for domestic in Saguache County. Median depth 150 feet.

## Domestic wells in Saguache County

**3,063** of the 8,803 well permits in Saguache County — 34.8% — are decreed for domestic.

### How this group compares

Saguache County holds 1.3% of
Colorado’s 243,096 domestic permits, while
holding 1.5% 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 | **150 ft** | 400 ft | 148 ft — deeper here (2,062 permits, 67 %) |
| Yield | **13 gpm** | 15 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (622 permits, 20 %) |
| Static water level | **30 ft** | 180 ft | 58 ft — lower here (1,329 permits, 43 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**1,983** of the 3,063 permits decreed for domestic in Saguache County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 64.7%. And
**471** expired without one: 15.4%.

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.
