Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the San Francisco Dwtn, CA station, about 13 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Contra Costa 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.
Neither heat nor freezing is usually a factor for events here, so servicing can follow the event's length and crowd.
Outdoor Season
Temperatures rarely get in the way of outdoor events here, so most dates are workable.
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 long community event, take 500 people over eight hours: the chart gives 9 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 10 to 11 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 11 is 0.55, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 6 and 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.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Richmond is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, ask the Richmond city government before you book what applies.
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
