Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Kisumu, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Kisumu
Boreholes in Kisumu are typically 50–150 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Kisumu is in the Lake Victoria basin, where granites, volcanic rocks and lake sediments meet. Good rainfall recharges the aquifers, and every borehole is tested for iron and other minerals before the water is used for drinking.
Our rigs mobilise from Nairobi, about 350 km from Kisumu, 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 Kisumu County, including in Kisumu, Ahero, Maseno, Kombewa and Muhoroni, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.
