Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Enterprise, UT

Enterprise is a city in northwestern Washington County, Utah, and its population was 2,027 in the 2020 census.

Enterprise was founded in 1891 by Orson Huntsman and was settled largely by residents of the town of Hebron, which was later abandoned, and its post office has been in operation since 1899.

Enterprise was named for the settlers' enterprising plan to find a water supply: cattle ranchers thrived in the area, but the town needed a consistent water supply for agriculture, so the settlers took on the ambitious project of building a dam that many thought impossible, and the completed dam and reservoir have supported the town ever since.

Enterprise is located on the south rim of the Great Basin and has a semi-arid climate, at an elevation of 5,371 feet.

In the 2020 census, Enterprise had 580 households and a median age of 28.7 years, and all of its residents lived in rural areas.
