Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Nunn 7 Nne, CO station, about 24 miles away. Snowfall is from the Ft Collins, CO station, about 2 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Ground and Route Conditions
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Nunn 7 NNE, CO, is about 24 miles from Fort Collins'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 Larimer County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 5B, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Freezing Nights
About 183 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Ice on the route or the ramp makes an accessible unit unusable for a wheelchair user; on freezing mornings, check and clear the route and the ramp before people arrive.
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. Hard, dry ground can serve as a firm route; loose sand or gravel cannot, so check the actual surface between the path and the door.
Snow and Access
Average snowfall is about 51 inches a year (snowfall normals from the Ft. Collins, CO station, about 2 miles away), more than three in four U.S. places in our data, enough to bury a ground-level path several times a winter. Snow on the accessible route blocks it: clear the full width of the route to the door and the ramp, not just a footpath.
How Many Accessible Units
The U.S. Access Board's guide to the ADA Standards says that where portable toilets are clustered, at least 5% of the units in each cluster must be accessible, rounding up:
| Units in the cluster | Accessible units (minimum) |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
| 61 to 80 | 4 |
Worked example: the PSAI chart gives 12 units for 2,000 people over 4 hours. In one cluster, 5% of 12 is 0.60, which rounds up to 1. Split into 2 clusters of 6, and each cluster needs its own: 2 ADA units in total (so splitting raises the count, because the 5% applies per cluster).
See ADA unit counts for more cluster sizes.
Placement
An accessible route has to reach the unit: firm, level ground such as pavement or compacted surfaces rather than deep grass or loose gravel, with a compliant ramp at any level change. Keep the accessible unit next to the main restroom row rather than off on its own. The Access Board's guide exempts portable units on construction sites that are used only by construction workers; units there for visitors or the public are not covered by that exemption.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Fort Collins is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a public event on public land, including where the accessible units and their route will go, ask the Fort Collins city government before you book what applies.

- How many units are in each cluster (at least 5% accessible, rounded up)
