The Bomet County government has installed and adopted the use of solar energy in pumping clean water to storage reservoirs in order to serve her clients seamlessly.
The water schemes managed by the Bomet Water and Sanitation Company (BOMWASCO), is spread across the county and aims at reducing reliance on hydroelectric power and cutting down high electricity bills.
The solar-powered water pumping initiative is funded by the World Bank, through Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) to help mitigate climate change effects through the use of clean energy.
Bomet County Chief Officer for Water, Environment and Climate Change, Solomon Kimetto, noted that the initiative was poised to revolutionize water supply systems in the county, and as well bring about important economic and environmental benefits.
