Borehole Drilling in Trans Nzoia County
Hydrogeological survey, WRA permits, drilling, casing, test pumping and pump or solar installation in Trans Nzoia, delivered end to end by Dreamkings Limited.
Drilling a borehole in Trans Nzoia
Boreholes in Trans Nzoia are typically 60–160 m deep. A hydrogeological survey confirms the best drilling point and the expected depth and yield before any drilling starts.
Trans Nzoia 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 380 km from Trans Nzoia, 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 Trans Nzoia County, including in Kitale, Endebess, Kiminini and Kwanza, for homes, farms, schools, estates and businesses.

How deep are boreholes in Trans Nzoia?

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