Watford City at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Keene 3S, ND station, about 17 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Planning Around the Weather
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Keene 3S, ND, is about 17 miles from Watford City'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 McKenzie County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 6A, 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 185 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 20 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 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
Newer Homes
Half of Watford City's housing units were built in 2013 or later (median year built, ACS 2020–2024), newer than nine in ten U.S. places in our data. Newer lots often have a driveway the truck can reach, which makes it easier to place a unit for additions, pools or landscaping work.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is buildings with five or more units, about 58% of units (higher than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), followed by detached houses at about 24% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 71% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (ACS; owner share lower than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), so property managers and landlords often book the units for renovations and decide where they stand.
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 North Dakota.
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, so even a two-unit cluster includes an ADA unit.
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. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. More: event rentals in North Dakota and wedding restrooms in North Dakota.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Watford City is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Watford City 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.
