Chico at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Oroville Muni Ap, CA station, about 21 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Planning Around the Weather
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Oroville Muni. Airport, CA, is about 21 miles from Chico's Census point, far enough that conditions on your site can differ; treat the 1991–2020 normals below as a guide. DOE's Building America map puts Butte County in the Hot-Dry climate region (IECC 2021 zone 3B, PNNL county guide). This region combines hot summers with low humidity: sun, dust and water supply are the usual planning issues, more than rain.
Heat
About 93 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, most of them in the summer months. About 19 days a year go past 100°F. On sunny, dry sites, place units in shade where the site allows. In the summer months, ask how often units will be pumped and restocked, and put them where they get afternoon shade.
Occasional Freezes
Only about 11 nights a year reach 32°F (fewer than three in four U.S. places in our data), but one hard freeze is enough to damage anything that holds water. For winter dates, ask what the provider does with water-carrying units when a freeze is forecast.
Job Sites and Home Projects
New Housing
About 12.1% of Chico's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), above the U.S. share of 11.4% and higher than most U.S. places in our data: newer construction sits alongside older stock, so job sites range from new homes to additions and repairs.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Chico's housing is 1983 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data. Housing from that era is now 35 to 55 years old; crews replacing roofs, windows or mechanical systems on it need a toilet on site like any other crew.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of Chico's housing, about 45% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 50% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 25% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. In small multi-unit buildings where tenants stay in place during work, put the crew's unit where it does not block a shared entrance. About 57% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (ACS; owner share lower than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), so property managers and landlords often book the units for renovations and decide where they stand.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: job-site porta potties in Chico.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A four-hour summer event for 2,000 people needs 12 units on the PSAI event chart, or 14 to 15 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, so even a two-unit cluster includes an ADA unit.
With only about 11 freezing nights a year, summer is the season to plan around; for a summer wedding, a restroom trailer brings air conditioning but needs a power source, while deluxe units need no hookups. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event restrooms in Chico and wedding restroom options.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Chico is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Chico city government before you book what applies.
If you rent your home, check with the landlord or property manager before a unit goes on the property. On attached or small multi-unit lots without a driveway, a unit at the curb is a street-use question for the Chico city government.

The station is more than 15 miles away, so your site can differ. Plan servicing and hand-wash water around summer.
