Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the San Francisco Oceanside, CA station, about 29 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Conditions for Hand-Wash Stations
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, San Francisco Oceanside, CA, is about 29 miles from San Francisco'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 San Francisco County in the Marine climate region (IECC 2021 zone 3C, PNNL county guide). This region has mild temperatures most of the year but long damp seasons, so wet ground is usually a bigger issue than heat or cold.
Temperatures rarely affect stations here, so refills can follow crowd size and hours.
Paint Work on Older Buildings
About 77% of San Francisco's housing units were built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead, so a station beside the crew's toilet belongs on those jobs.
Water, Refills and Placement
Each station has a fresh-water tank, foot pumps, soap and towels, and a separate gray-water tank. How many you need depends on crowd size, hours, basins per station and tank size, and food or animal areas need more; there is no single national ratio for events, so give the provider your numbers.
On job sites, a station by the toilets lets crews handling paint, chemicals or dirty materials wash with running water.
Placement and Access
Put stations beside the restroom rows and near food, on firm ground the refill truck can reach.
Near the Shoreline
San Francisco'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). Put stations where the service truck can reach them without driving onto sand.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
San Francisco is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land or stations on a street or sidewalk, ask the San Francisco city government before you book what applies.
If food is served, the health department that permits the event's food vendors can say what it expects for hand washing; ask it directly.
What to Ask For
- Number of basins per station
- Fresh-water capacity for your crowd and hours
- Refills and gray-water emptying for long rentals
- Placement beside restrooms and near food or animals
