Clovis sits on the Llano Estacado in eastern Curry County, and the city’s entire water supply comes from groundwater pumped from the Ogallala Aquifer, a genuinely single-source arrangement local leaders have called out as a real vulnerability. The aquifer is being depleted faster than it recharges, and some regional estimates suggest remaining supply could run out as soon as 2028 without intervention, which is why Curry County’s Water Policy Advisory Committee released a 40-year plan targeting a 37 percent reduction in Clovis’s groundwater use. The city has also been working since 2023 on the FW1 Ute Reservoir pipeline project, a new infrastructure effort intended to deliver an alternate water source to Clovis, Portales, and nearby communities by 2030.
Why Plumbing Fails Differently Here
Because Clovis depends entirely on the Ogallala Aquifer for its water supply, genuine long-term water pressure and availability planning are an active, ongoing local concern that residents and city leaders are actively working to address. High Plains groundwater like this is often mineral-rich, and homes relying on it can see more scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures over time than homes on surface-sourced systems. The region’s real high-desert climate brings both hot, dry summers and genuinely cold winter nights at Clovis’s roughly 4,270-foot elevation. That combination of single-source aquifer dependence and real seasonal temperature swings shapes what local plumbers see most often throughout the year.
Know Your Shutoff Valve
Find your home’s main water shutoff valve before you ever need it, and make sure everyone in the household knows how to close it. If a pipe fails from a hard freeze or a drain backs up, shutting off the water fast is often the difference between a contained repair and a flooded home.
Clovis was incorporated in 1909 and has a genuine agricultural heritage tied closely to the Ogallala Aquifer, along with a well-known role in early rock music history and its proximity to Cannon Air Force Base. Whatever the age of a home, the shared reliance on the single-source Ogallala Aquifer and genuine high-desert temperature swings applies broadly across Clovis, which is why a plumber familiar with local conditions is worth having on call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an emergency plumber available in Clovis right now?
Yes. A licensed, insured 24-hour local emergency plumber is on call across Clovis, including zip codes 88101 and 88102 — call the number above for same-day dispatch, day or night, any time of year.
Why is the Ogallala Aquifer such a concern for Clovis?
Clovis is solely dependent on the Ogallala Aquifer for water, and decades of heavy agricultural and municipal pumping across the region have depleted it faster than it recharges. Local leaders adopted a 40-year plan targeting a 37 percent reduction in Clovis’s groundwater use, and a new pipeline project is underway to secure an alternate source by 2030.
Does living in Clovis mean my water is hard?
Often, yes. High Plains groundwater like the Ogallala Aquifer generally carries more dissolved minerals than surface-sourced municipal water, which is why homes here sometimes see more mineral scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures over time.
What should I do if a drain backs up?
Stop running water into the affected drain and call the number above. A drain cleaning visit can clear the blockage and identify whether it’s a one-time issue or a sign of an aging line.
What does an emergency plumbing visit in Clovis cost?
Every visit starts with a free estimate. There’s no fixed price quoted sight-unseen, and any added scope is approved by you first — no surprise charges, regardless of the size or complexity of the job.

Are older Clovis homes more prone to plumbing problems?
Generally, yes. Homes built during the city’s earlier decades of agricultural growth are more likely to have original supply and drain lines that have had far more time to wear down than a newer home’s plumbing, especially given the region’s genuine mineral-rich water.
