Well depths, water levels & drought risk for any Colorado property
Free · unlimited searches · 1.3M+ state well records
Type any Colorado address to see every permitted well around it — how deep the neighbors had to drill, where the water sits, and whether a well here is at risk of running dry.
Every well drilled in Colorado is on file with the state — how deep it went, where the water sat, what it was permitted to produce. That record is the closest thing there is to knowing what is under your own ground before anyone starts drilling.
If the wells around you had to reach 300 feet, yours very likely will too. If half the street is screened in a shallow zone that a dry year can pull below the pump, that is worth knowing before it happens rather than after.
Colorado is coming off the lowest snowpack in more than forty years, and much of the state is in severe to exceptional drought. Shallow wells feel that first.
A well is exposed when two things are true at once: it is shallow compared with the wells around it, and there is little or no reserve below where it takes water in. When the water table drops past the bottom of a well like that, it does not gradually weaken — it stops. Search your address and the report tells you where your well sits against its neighbors, how much column is left above its intake, and what the drought is doing in your county right now.
Measured from state permit records — median depth, the range most wells fall in, and where the water typically sits. These are real percentiles, not estimates.
Depth is the single biggest driver of what a well costs, at roughly $50–75 per foot before pump and equipment. Search your exact address to see the individual wells nearest you rather than a county-wide figure — depth can change sharply within a mile.
