Durham at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Oroville Muni Ap, CA station, about 13 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Butte County in the Hot-Dry climate region (IECC 2021 zone 3B, PNNL county guide). This region combines hot summers with low humidity: sun, dust and water supply are the usual planning issues, more than rain.
Heat
About 93 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, most of them in the summer months. About 19 days a year go past 100°F. On sunny, dry sites, place units in shade where the site allows. In the summer months, ask how often units will be pumped and restocked, and put them where they get afternoon shade.
Occasional Freezes
Only about 11 nights a year reach 32°F (fewer than three in four U.S. places in our data), but one hard freeze is enough to damage anything that holds water. For winter dates, ask what the provider does with water-carrying units when a freeze is forecast.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Durham's housing is 1976 (ACS 2020–2024), older 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.
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 mobile homes at about 8% (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 a manufactured-home community, the community's management decides where a unit for setup or repair work can stand.
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 California.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A four-hour summer event for 2,000 people needs 12 units on the PSAI event chart, or 14 to 15 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.
With only about 11 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. For a backyard party at a house, you can ask for a single unit; a deluxe flushable unit needs no hookups. Events in a county park follow the county parks office's rules; ask it what applies before you book. More: event rentals in California and wedding restrooms in California.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Durham is unincorporated (a Census-designated place), so Butte County, not a city hall, handles local roads, parks and events. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Butte County government before you book what applies.
