Water and land - Gilpin County
In Gilpin County, your well permit tells you what your water can do
Many Gilpin County mountain properties have their own private well, and the well permit spells out exactly how that water may be used.
Read note ->Water and land - San Miguel County
The San Miguel River carries water rights, not just scenery
The San Miguel River runs the length of the county and is governed by Colorado water rights, so river frontage on a parcel does not by itself grant a right to use the water.
Read note ->Water and land - Teller County
On a Teller County mountain lot, your water often starts with a well permit
Many rural Teller County properties rely on a private well, and in Colorado a well needs a permit from the state with limits on how the water can be used.
Read note ->Water and land - Custer County

Read note ->Water and land - Montezuma County
Out here, a well permit is not a promise of unlimited water

Read note ->Water and land - Pueblo County
A well on Pueblo County land is not unlimited water
On rural and unincorporated land around Pueblo County, a domestic well comes with a state permit that sets what the water may be used for, so 'has a well' is not the same as 'has all the water you want.'
Read note ->Water and land - Logan County
Check the Logan County well permit file before relying on a well
A Logan County well permit file shows the well's allowable uses and construction records, so read it before relying on the well.
Read note ->Water and land - Hinsdale County
A well in Hinsdale County is not a promise of unlimited water
Many Hinsdale County properties rely on wells, but a well permit comes with conditions and limits set by the state, not the seller.
Read note ->Water and land - Logan County
Logan County land divisions need a real water-supply check
Dividing land here means proving the water is real; counties refer the supply studies to DWR for an opinion.
Read note ->Home and property - Gunnison County
A Gunnison County well question starts with the state
A private well in Gunnison County is permitted by the state Division of Water Resources, not just handled in a county building chat.
Read note ->Water and land - Logan County
South Platte streamflow is live data, not a Logan County listing fact
The South Platte's level changes by the day, so read DWR's live gages and water tools instead of one calm visit.
Read note ->Water and land - Logan County
