Ground and Route Conditions

DOE's Building America map puts Washoe County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 5B, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.

Dry, Windy Sites

Only about 7 inches of precipitation falls in an average year, in the driest tenth of U.S. places in our data. Hard, dry ground can serve as a firm route; loose sand or gravel cannot, so check the actual surface between the path and the door.

Freezing Nights

About 122 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Ice on the route or the ramp makes an accessible unit unusable for a wheelchair user; on freezing mornings, check and clear the route and the ramp before people arrive.

Heat

About 65 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. Where the route allows, put the accessible unit in afternoon shade, next to the other restrooms.

How Many Accessible Units

The U.S. Access Board's guide to the ADA Standards says that where portable toilets are clustered, at least 5% of the units in each cluster must be accessible, rounding up:

Units in the clusterAccessible units (minimum)
1 to 201
21 to 402
41 to 603
61 to 804

Worked example: the PSAI chart gives 38 units for 5,000 people over 6 hours. In one cluster, 5% of 38 is 1.90, which rounds up to 2. Split into 2 clusters of 19, and each cluster needs its own: 2 ADA units in total (the same total here, though splitting can raise it, because the 5% applies per cluster).

See ADA unit counts for more cluster sizes.

Placement

An accessible route has to reach the unit: firm, level ground such as pavement or compacted surfaces rather than deep grass or loose gravel, with a compliant ramp at any level change. Keep the accessible unit next to the main restroom row rather than off on its own. The Access Board's guide exempts portable units on construction sites that are used only by construction workers; units there for visitors or the public are not covered by that exemption.

Who to Ask About Local Rules

Reno is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a public event on public land, including where the accessible units and their route will go, ask the Reno city government before you book what applies.

What to Ask For

  • How many units are in each cluster (at least 5% accessible, rounded up)
  • The surface between the path and the door
  • A ramp for any level change
  • Placement next to the main restroom row
  • A shaded spot on the accessible route
