Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Islip Li Macarthur Ap, NY station, about 10 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Suffolk County in the Mixed-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 4A, PNNL county guide). This region gets both a real summer and a real winter, so a July rental and a January rental need different planning.
Freezing Nights
About 98 nights a year reach 32°F or below, more than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. Spring and fall events can still catch a freeze overnight; if units stay out between event days, ask how hand-wash stations are protected.
Outdoor Season
Summer heat is rarely the problem here; cold is. Outdoor events from late fall into spring need units that cope with freezing nights.
Local Settings
For beach and waterfront events, units stand at the edge of the sand on firm ground the service truck can reach. For a backyard party at a house, you can ask for a single unit; a deluxe flushable unit needs no hookups.
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 winter event, take 1,000 people over three hours: the chart gives 8 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 9 to 10 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 10 is 0.50, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 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.
Near the Shoreline
Smithtown's Census reference point is less than a mile from the shoreline in the Census Bureau's TIGER coastline layer (the layer includes Great Lakes shores and some bays). For a beach or lakefront event, place units at the edge of the sand on a surface the truck can reach, unless the provider confirms it can service them on the beach.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Smithtown is a town, a county subdivision with its own local government rather than an incorporated city. For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, ask the Smithtown town government before you book what applies.
Beaches and waterfront parks can be managed by a separate parks, port or state agency; ask whoever manages that land.
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
- Winterized hand-wash stations for cold-season dates
- Firm ground for rows after rain
