Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Los Angeles Dwtn Usc Campus, CA station, about 10 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Los Angeles 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.
Summer Hot Spells
About 26 days a year reach 90°F, fewer than most U.S. places in our data; hot spells come and go rather than lasting all summer. If the date falls in a hot spell, add a hand-wash station at each row and ask about an extra service visit.
Outdoor Season
Most of the year suits outdoor events; a summer hot spell or a rare winter freeze are the exceptions to plan around.
Local Settings
At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand.
How Many Units
The Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) chart sizes event restrooms by crowd and hours, assuming no servicing during the event:
| Crowd | 1 hr | 2 hrs | 3 hrs | 4 hrs | 5 hrs | 6 hrs | 7 hrs | 8 hrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 9 |
| 1,000 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 11 | 12 |
| 2,000 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
| 5,000 | 12 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 31 | 38 | 44 | 50 |
| 10,000 | 15 | 25 | 38 | 50 | 63 | 75 | 88 | 100 |
For a full-day festival, take 5,000 people over six hours: the chart gives 38 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 42 to 46 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 46 is 2.30, which rounds up to 3 ADA units in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 23, each cluster needs its own, so 4 ADA units in total.
Ask about servicing during an all-day event. See the PSAI event chart for the full table.
Placement and Access
Put restroom rows on firm, level ground the service truck can reach, away from food prep, with ADA units on an accessible route and hand-wash stations beside the rows.
Dry, Windy Sites
Only about 14 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, in the driest tenth of U.S. places in our data. At open-air fairs, races and lots, a tipped unit is a hazard; ask for anchoring on exposed sites.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Downey is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, ask the Downey city government before you book what applies.
What to Ask For
- Expected attendance, including staff, vendors and volunteers
- Event hours, and whether it runs over several days
- Whether alcohol or food will be served
- ADA units for every cluster (at least 5%, rounded up) and hand-wash stations
