Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Eagle Mountain, UT

Eagle Mountain is a city in Utah County, part of the Provo-Orem metropolitan area, located to the west and north of the Lake Mountains in the flat Cedar Valley.

Eagle Mountain was incorporated on December 3, 1996, as a town of about 24 square miles with roughly 250 residents, and it was reclassified as a city in 2001.

The 2020 census counted 43,623 residents in Eagle Mountain, with 10,350 households, a median age of just 22.4 years, and 44.7 percent of residents under the age of 18.

Eagle Mountain's growth has been explosive, from 2,157 residents in 2000 to 21,415 in 2010 and 43,623 in 2020, cementing its reputation as one of the fastest-growing communities in Utah's recent history.

The city began in 1994, when John Walden, Scott Gettings, and Andrew Zorbis bought about 8,000 acres in Cedar Valley at a bankruptcy auction and won the support of the Cedar Pass Ranch and Harvest Haven communities, with Debbie Hooge appointed as the first mayor.

At 50.43 square miles, Eagle Mountain is one of the largest cities in Utah by land area.

Eagle Mountain is home to a site along the original Pony Express trail and a boulder bearing 1,800-year-old rock art petroglyphs carved by ancient Fremont Indians.

The city lists four regional parks and about 35 local parks, and in 2009 it opened the Mountain Ranch Bike Park, the first of its kind on the Wasatch Front, with a jump line, two slopestyle tracks, a singletrack network, and a skills area.

In 2011, Eagle Mountain annexed the White Hills neighborhood, with about 400 residents, along with almost 2,900 acres of surrounding land.

Eagle Mountain is in the Alpine School District, which is scheduled to split in 2027, after which the city will be part of the newly formed Lake Mountain School District, and the city has eight elementary schools, including Eagle Valley, Hidden Hollow, Mountain Trails, and Pony Express.
