Glenwood Springs at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Rifle Garfield Co Ap, CO 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, Rifle Garfield Co. Airport, CO, is about 21 miles from Glenwood Springs'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 Garfield 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.
Dry, Windy Sites
Only about 11 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, in the driest tenth of U.S. places in our data. Dry ground usually holds a truck and a wheelchair well, but open, dry sites can get windy and dusty: ask for units to be staked or tied down on exposed ground.
Freezing Nights
About 173 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. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Summer Hot Spells
About 54 days a year reach 90°F, more than most U.S. places in our data; hot spells come and go rather than lasting all summer. If your dates land in a hot spell, ask for an extra service visit on multi-day rentals and keep hand-wash stations topped up.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 10.7% of Glenwood Springs's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, though above the median U.S. place in our data, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Glenwood Springs's housing is 1982 (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 Glenwood Springs's housing, about 48% 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 46% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 26% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 45% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
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: construction rentals in Colorado.
Events, Weddings and Parties
An all-day festival for 5,000 people over six hours needs 38 units on the PSAI event chart, or 42 to 46 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up; hard, dry ground usually works as the route to the ADA unit, loose sand or gravel does not.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. 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.
