Somerton at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Yuma Mcas, AZ station, about 6 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Yuma County in the Hot-Dry climate region (IECC 2021 zone 2B, PNNL county guide). This region combines hot summers with low humidity: sun, dust and water supply are the usual planning issues, more than rain. Freezing nights are rare, about 0 a year, so water-carrying units can usually run through the winter.
Dry, Windy Sites
Only about 3 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.
Heat
About 181 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so heat is the normal condition for months at a time. About 118 of those days reach 100°F, which is top-tenth territory nationally. On sunny, dry sites, place units in shade where the site allows. For rentals longer than a day in the warm months, set servicing by the heat rather than the calendar, shade the units, and add hand-wash stations.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Newer Homes
Half of Somerton's housing units were built in 2002 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.
Housing Mix
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 81% of units (higher than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by two- to four-unit buildings at about 10% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. In small multi-unit buildings where tenants stay in place during work, put the crew's unit where it does not block a shared entrance. About 74% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (higher than most U.S. places in our data); for a rented home, the landlord's OK comes before the unit.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the floor: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then a seat and a urinal per 40 (per 50 at 200 or more). More on sizing: construction rentals in Arizona.
Events, Weddings and Parties
On one of Somerton's hot days, a five-hour event for 1,000 people needs 9 units on the PSAI event chart, or 10 to 11 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.
With only about 0 freezing nights a year, summer is the season to plan around; for a summer wedding, a restroom trailer brings air conditioning but needs a power source, while deluxe units need no hookups. On 100°F days, put drinking water and shade near the restroom rows, not just the stage. At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked.
