Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Ft Lauderdale Executive Ap, FL station, about 4 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Broward County in the Hot-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 1A, PNNL county guide). This region pairs heat with humidity for much of the year; for long rentals in the hot months, ask how often units will be serviced.
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. For long rentals in the hot, humid months, ask how often units will be serviced. For summer events, schedule servicing between event days and place restroom rows where the queue can stand in shade.
Outdoor Season
With only about 0 freezing nights a year, heat rather than cold sets the plan: the summer months are the ones that call for extra servicing and shade (see Heat above).
Local Settings
For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand. For beach and waterfront events, units stand at the edge of the sand on firm ground the service truck can reach.
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 summer event in Fort Lauderdale, take 2,000 people over four hours: the chart gives 12 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 14 to 15 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 15 is 0.75, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 8 and 7, each cluster needs its own, so 2 ADA units in total.
Put hand-wash stations and shade at each row for summer dates. 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.
Rain and Ground
About 57 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, with about 16 days of an inch or more, in the top tenth of U.S. places in our data. Grass venues soften after heavy rain; set restroom rows on the firmest, highest ground beside a hard surface the truck can use, and keep the ADA route on pavement or another firm surface.
Near the Shoreline
Fort Lauderdale's Census reference point is about 3 miles from the shoreline in the Census Bureau's TIGER coastline layer (the layer includes Great Lakes shores and some bays). For a beach or lakefront event, place units at the edge of the sand on a surface the truck can reach, unless the provider confirms it can service them on the beach.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale city government before you book what applies.
Beaches and waterfront parks can be managed by a separate parks, port or state agency; ask whoever manages that land.
