ENMWUA Board Member Juan Garza

Mr. Juan Garza, a dedicated public servant and business leader, has been a key figure in the City of Clovis since 1982, when he moved with his family in search of better opportunities. After becoming actively involved with the United Way of Eastern New Mexico and the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Garza established a successful business and emerged as a prominent community leader. Elected as City Commissioner 25 years ago, he has consistently earned reelection, demonstrating his commitment to Clovis and its growth.

Originally from Mexico, Mr. Garza has deep roots in Clovis and is a strong advocate for economic development of eastern New Mexico. As he has aptly stated, “A town without an economy is not a town, and communities without water cannot thrive.” This belief has shaped his service as a board member of the Eastern New Mexico Water Utility Authority (ENMWUA), where he has served since his election.

Working alongside former mayors Lansford of Clovis, Brumfield of Clovis, Ortega of Portales, and other elected officials, Mr. Garza became deeply committed to securing water resources for the region. His work on the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water System has been a defining passion, underscored by a meaningful moment in his career when he traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate for the region’s water needs before legislators. Mr. Garza's steadfast leadership and dedication to the well-being of his community have made him an indispensable figure in shaping Clovis’ future.
