# Irrigation well permits in Washington County, Colorado — 1,098 > The 1,098 wells permitted for irrigation in Washington County. Median depth 125 feet. ## Irrigation wells in Washington County **1,098** of the 5,722 well permits in Washington County — 19.2% — are decreed for irrigation. ### How this group compares Washington County holds 2.3% of Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while holding 1.0% of the register overall — so it is **over-represented** in this use. Irrigation means watering land, at the volume the permit allows. *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 | **125 ft** | 352 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (474 permits, 43 %) | | Yield | **1000 gpm** | 1500 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (128 permits, 12 %) | | Static water level | **87 ft** | 233 ft | 58 ft — higher here (414 permits, 38 %) | ### What happened to these permits **177** of the 1,098 permits decreed for irrigation in Washington County ended with a well the Division was told about — 16.1%. And **124** expired without one: 11.3%. 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.
