Borehole Drilling in Bomet County
Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Bomet, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Bomet
Boreholes in Bomet are typically 60–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Bomet lies in the volcanic highlands, where rain on the surrounding hills and mountains recharges aquifers in weathered and fractured volcanic rock. Water levels can change sharply between ridges and valleys, so choosing the drilling point matters as much as the depth.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 240 km from Bomet, and drilling rates here carry a 5% regional adjustment for terrain and logistics.
Dreamkings Limited handles the whole job: the survey, WRA drilling authorisation, drilling, casing and gravel pack, well development, test pumping, water quality analysis, and the pump, power and storage you choose.
We drill boreholes across Bomet County, including in Bomet, Sotik, Longisa and Mulot, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.

Do I need a permit to drill a borehole in Bomet?
Yes. Drilling needs Water Resources Authority (WRA) authorisation, backed by the survey report, and some sites also need NEMA or Bomet County approvals. We prepare and follow up the applications for you.
