What Lincoln Park Well Records Tell Buyers

How deep are wells around Lincoln Park?

How much water do wells make near Lincoln Park?

Lincoln Park Well Depth Depends on the Bedrock

The recorded median well depth near Lincoln Park is 50 feet. The middle half runs from 34 to 89 feet, and 77% of reported wells are under 100 feet. That is useful for early budgeting: a typical bid may be based on a relatively shallow hole, not automatically on a several-hundred-foot well.

The spread is still important. About 13% of wells are 100 to 300 feet, 6% are 300 to 600 feet, and 4% exceed 600 feet. The 90th-percentile depth is 293 feet, while the deepest record reaches 2,200 feet. Granite and gneiss can fracture differently across short distances, so a nearby shallow well does not guarantee the same result on your parcel.

Expected Well Yield Around Lincoln Park

Among the 181 records that report pump yield, the median is 10.0 gallons per minute. The middle half falls between 4.0 and 15.0 gallons per minute. That is a workable range for many household uses, but a yield report is not the same as a guarantee of continuous supply or storage capacity.

About 3% of reported wells produce under 1 gallon per minute, 25% produce 1 to 5, 43% produce 5 to 15, and 30% produce more than 15. For a buyer, the low-yield group is the warning: confirm the well's test, pressure tank, storage, and recovery information. If a property will need irrigation or several residences, verify the permit and water-right requirements rather than relying on the median.

Water Levels and the Local Record

Only 25 wells report a static water level, so the water-level sample is limited. In those records, the median depth to water is 44 feet, with the middle half between 16 and 100 feet. That gives a starting point for pump and trench planning, but it does not establish the water level beneath every Lincoln Park lot.

The permit counts by decade do not show a continuous water-level trend because the available facts do not provide water-level measurements by decade. They do show the largest permit period in the 1990s, with 379 permits, followed by 215 in the 2000s. Treat the static-water figures as property-specific evidence to verify, not proof that the regional table is rising or falling.

Who Has Drilled Near Lincoln Park

Permit records extend from the 1950s through the newest permit year, 2025. The most active named records belong to Authorized (Pe, Pg), with 438, followed by Arkansas Valley Drilling (Moore, Todd A.) with 71 and Young'S Drilling & Pump Serv (Young, Nolen) with 63. These are record counts, not a guarantee of current availability, price, or workmanship.

Household and domestic permits make up 45% of the use mix. Stock accounts for 13%, irrigation 3%, and monitoring 42%. That large monitoring share matters when comparing records: not every mapped well is a home-water source. Ask the driller to review construction reports and confirm the intended use before using a nearby permit as a direct comparison.

What a Lincoln Park Well May Cost

Drilling here means working in fractured mountain bedrock, including granite and gneiss. The typical drilling rate is $65 to $100 per foot. At the 50-foot median depth, the drilled hole works out to about $3,200 to $5,000. That is only the hole, not the complete water system.

A finished well with pump, tank, trenching, and electrical is modeled at about $9,200 to $17,000 at the median depth. A deeper hole can move the total higher, and difficult access or an uncertain fracture can affect the bid. Request a written estimate that states the assumed depth, casing and grout, pump equipment, testing, electrical work, trenching, and what happens if the hole is dry or produces less than expected.

Lincoln Park Risks to Check Before Building

Water quality deserves a separate review from well yield. Within about 10 miles, the records map 32 PFAS sampling or contamination sites, 94 historic mine features, and 4 EPA Superfund or cleanup sites. Those locations do not prove contamination at a particular property, but they are reasons to check site history and order a qualified water test before closing.

Low yield and dry-hole risk also remain possible in fractured bedrock, even with a 10.0-gallon-per-minute median. Confirm the well location, construction report, pumping test, static level, casing, and grout. Before placing a septic system or house, verify setbacks, access for a rig, soil and percolation conditions, electrical routing, and the permit requirements for the intended household use. An augmentation plan may matter in an over-appropriated basin.

Well permits by decade near Lincoln Park

What a new well costs in Lincoln Park, CO

How this is built: the median permitted depth here times the per-foot range for this ground, plus the normal system costs. A lot at the 75th-percentile depth (89 ft) would run roughly $11,785–$20,900. See the full Colorado well cost guide.

Environmental sites mapped within about 10 miles

Counts come from EPA, USGS and state datasets layered on the Colorado Well Finder map. A count is not a verdict on any one well; it tells you what to test for.

Buying land near Lincoln Park? Know what it costs to build before you buy the dirt.

A listing photo can't tell you whether a lot is a dream or a money pit. Two parcels near Lincoln Park can carry the same asking price while one needs an $80,000 driveway and a $45,000 engineered septic the other doesn't. The well numbers on this page are the start of that answer. A Tri-Lakes Site Feasibility Report is the rest of it: a licensed general contractor, excavator and septic installer reads the parcel the way we would if we were about to build on it, and puts the real cost in writing before your money is committed.

Spend a little to know. Or gamble a lot to guess. Realtors sell the view and inspectors look at houses that already exist. We're the people who'd build it, so we catch what quietly turns a "great deal" into a budget disaster: bad access, buried rock, steep grade, soil that won't pass for a normal septic, water that's a fortune to reach. And if the lot is good, you've already got a builder ready to do the work, driveway to drywall.

• Instant Online Report, $99 — type the address and get a buildability read on the spot: parcel, terrain and slope, soil and septic outlook. Cheap enough to run on every lot you're shopping.
• Desktop Report, $500 — a contractor's from-the-desk feasibility read: Regulation 43 and county code, GIS parcel data, terrain, flood and drainage, soil and septic viability, setbacks and buildable envelope, nearby well depths from our 591,000-well database, the likely driveway route, and a preliminary site-development cost breakdown.
• On-Site Report, $2,000 — everything above, then boots and a drone on the actual ground: house pad and septic zone located, access and winter conditions checked, rock and soil observed in person, a 15 to 20 page written opinion you can hand a lender or seller. Credited toward your project if you build with us.

Under contract, comparing parcels, or a realtor with a rural listing whose buyers keep asking "what will it cost to build here?" This is the due-diligence step almost everyone skips, and the one that saves the most.
