# Monitoring/sampling well permits in Weld County, Colorado — 10,978

> The 10,978 wells permitted for monitoring/sampling in Weld County. Median depth 24 feet.

## Monitoring/sampling wells in Weld County

**10,978** of the 43,473 well permits in Weld County — 25.3% — are decreed for monitoring/sampling.

### How this group compares

Weld County holds 12.1% of
Colorado’s 91,022 monitoring/sampling permits, while
holding 7.2% of the register overall — so it is
**over-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 | **24 ft** | 59 ft | 148 ft — shallower here (7,394 permits, 67 %) |
| Yield | **60 gpm** | 237 gpm | 10 gpm — higher here (22 permits, 0 %) |
| Static water level | **12 ft** | 47.7 ft | 58 ft — lower here (2,297 permits, 21 %) |

### What happened to these permits

**6,150** of the 10,978 permits decreed for monitoring/sampling in Weld County ended with a
well the Division was told about — 56.0%. And
**2,282** expired without one: 20.8%.

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.
