What this permit is not
A well permit is the State Engineer’s permission to construct and use a well — it is not a decreed water right and confers none. DWR’s record limits its use to: Domestic (category Residential).
This one is tied to a decreed structure (WDID 2012192, linked above): if it is a non-exempt well, that is where its priority date and any augmentation obligation live, and this page is only the construction record. How permits, decrees and monitoring wells differ →
