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.

Neither heat nor freezing is usually a factor for events here, so servicing can follow the event's length and crowd.

Outdoor Season

Temperatures rarely get in the way of outdoor events here, so most dates are workable.

Local Settings

For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked.

How Many Units

The Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) chart sizes event restrooms by crowd and hours, assuming no servicing during the event:

Portable restroom units by average crowd size and hours (PSAI chart)
Crowd1 hr2 hrs3 hrs4 hrs5 hrs6 hrs7 hrs8 hrs
50024456799
1,0004688991112
2,0005691214161820
5,0001215202531384450
10,00015253850637588100

For a long community event, take 500 people over eight hours: the chart gives 9 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 10 to 11 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 11 is 0.55, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 6 and 5, each cluster needs its own, so 2 ADA units in total.

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 13 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

Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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.

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
