The Dalles at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the The Dalles Muni Ap, WA station, about 2 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Wasco 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 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.
Freezing Nights
About 72 nights a year reach 32°F or below, fewer 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 43 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
Building in Existing Neighborhoods
About 7.5% of The Dalles's housing units were built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024), below the U.S. share of 11.4%, though above the median U.S. place in our data, so most homes predate 2010 and many projects are renovations or additions to existing buildings.
Older Homes and Remodels
The median year built for The Dalles's housing is 1964 (ACS 2020–2024), older than three in four U.S. places in our data. Houses built around 1964 are now more than half a century old; kitchen, bath and roof jobs on them are construction work under OSHA 1926.51, and if the crew cannot use the home's bathroom, the rule calls for a toilet on site.
Older Paint on Renovation Jobs
A large share of The Dalles's housing, about 70% 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.
Housing Mix
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 65% of units (lower than most U.S. places in our data), followed by buildings with five or more units at about 13% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. Apartment and condo projects bring larger crews, and a property manager decides where units go. About 37% 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.
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 Oregon.
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; hard, dry ground usually works as the route to the ADA unit, loose sand or gravel does not.
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. More: event rentals in Oregon and wedding restrooms in Oregon.
