Carterville at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Carbondale Southern Il Ap, IL station, about 9 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Williamson County in the Mixed-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 4A, PNNL county guide). This region gets both a real summer and a real winter, so a July rental and a January rental need different planning.
Rain and Ground
Heavy rain days are frequent: about 12 days a year bring an inch or more of precipitation, out of about 44 inches in total. Soft ground is the risk: units belong on a firm, level base the service truck can reach without crossing a soggy lawn, and an ADA unit needs a route that does not turn to mud.
Freezing Nights
About 95 nights a year reach 32°F or below, more than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. Water-carrying units need a plan from late fall into spring: give your dates when you call and ask how hand-wash water and flush tanks are kept from freezing.
Summer Hot Spells
About 41 days a year reach 90°F, more than most U.S. places in our data; hot spells come and go rather than lasting all summer. If your dates land in a hot spell, ask for an extra service visit on multi-day rentals and keep hand-wash stations topped up.
Job Sites and Home Projects
New Housing
About 15.1% of Carterville's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), above the U.S. share of 11.4% and higher than three in four U.S. places in our data: newer construction sits alongside older stock, so job sites range from new homes to additions and repairs.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Carterville's housing is 1986 (ACS 2020–2024), newer 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.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of Carterville's housing, about 42% of units, was built before 1980 (ACS 2020–2024). EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, and OSHA’s lead standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.62) requires adequate hand-washing facilities for workers exposed to lead. If the crew will sand, scrape or demolish old paint, put one of the hand-wash stations next to the toilet.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 74% of units (higher than most U.S. places in our data), followed by two- to four-unit buildings at about 18% (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 40% of occupied homes are rented (owner share lower than most U.S. places in our data), so check who controls the property before a unit goes on it.
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 Illinois.
Events, Weddings and Parties
An all-day festival for 5,000 people over six hours needs 38 units on the PSAI event chart, or 42 to 46 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up, and with heavy rain this common the ADA unit needs a route that stays firm when the grass is wet.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. More: event rentals in Illinois and wedding restrooms in Illinois.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Carterville is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the Carterville city government before you book what applies.
On attached or small multi-unit lots without a driveway, a unit at the curb is a street-use question for the Carterville city government.
