Oakdale at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the St Paul Downtown Ap, MN station, about 6 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Washington County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 6A, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Freezing Nights
About 146 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 5.5% of Oakdale's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Oakdale's housing is 1985 (ACS 2020–2024), newer than most U.S. places in our data, and 38% of housing units predate 1980. 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.
Apartments, Townhouses and Rentals
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 56% of units (lower than most U.S. places in our data), followed by townhouses and rowhouses at about 24% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Townhouses and rowhouses share walls and often lack a side yard, so a unit for a renovation may need to sit in a shared driveway or at the curb. About 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (higher than most U.S. places in our data); for a rented home, the landlord's OK comes before the unit.
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51, a crew of 20 or fewer needs one toilet, so a single unit covers a typical renovation crew; you can ask for exactly one. More on sizing: construction rentals in Minnesota.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A three-hour winter event for 1,000 people needs 8 units on the PSAI event chart, or 9 to 10 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.
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 Minnesota and wedding restrooms in Minnesota.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale city government.
