Irrigation wells in Weld County

6,468 of the 43,473 well permits in Weld County — 14.9% — are decreed for irrigation.

How this group compares

Weld County holds 13.6% of Colorado’s 47,689 irrigation permits, while holding 7.2% of the register overall — so it is over-represented in this use.

Irrigation means watering land, at the volume the permit allows.

What happened to these permits

3,786 of the 6,468 permits decreed for irrigation in Weld County ended with a well the Division was told about — 58.5%. And 299 expired without one: 4.6%.

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. What an expired permit does and does not mean.

6,468 well permits are on the Division’s register in Weld County, 299 of them expired. This site tells you what a permit says; it does not drill, and it is not advice on a water right. Tell us where and we pass the request to drillers and water-rights advisers working in Colorado.

We take no commission and we recommend no driller. We have no arrangement with any firm today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
