Missoula at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Missoula Intl Ap, MT station, about 5 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Missoula County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 6B, 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 173 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.
Dry, Windy Sites
Only about 14 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, in the driest tenth of U.S. places in our data. Dry ground usually holds a truck and a wheelchair well, but open, dry sites can get windy and dusty: ask for units to be staked or tied down on exposed ground.
Snow and Access
About 43 inches of snow falls in an average year, more than most U.S. places in our data, usually in a handful of storms. After a storm, clear the route from the road to the units before the next service day so the truck can reach them.
Summer Hot Spells
About 27 days a year reach 90°F, fewer 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 17.8% of Missoula'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 Missoula's housing is 1981 (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 Missoula's housing, about 49% 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 49% of units (lower than three in four U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 27% (ACS 2020–2024). Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 53% of occupied homes are renter-occupied (ACS; owner share lower than nine in ten U.S. places in our data), so property managers and landlords often book the units for renovations and decide where they stand.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 scales with headcount: 45 workers on an apartment or condo site need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals, 210 need 5 of each. More on sizing: construction rentals in Montana.
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; for winter events, clear the route to the ADA unit at full width, not just a footpath.
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. At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked. For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand.

Who to Ask About Local Rules
Missoula 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 Missoula city government before you book what applies.
If you rent your home, check with the landlord or property manager before a unit goes on the property.
