Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Austin-Camp Mabry, TX station, about 2 miles away.
Conditions for Events
DOE's Building America map puts Travis County in the Hot-Humid climate region (IECC 2021 zone 2A, PNNL county guide). This region pairs heat with humidity for much of the year; for long rentals in the hot months, ask how often units will be serviced.
Heat
About 123 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so heat is the normal condition for months at a time. About 29 days a year go past 100°F. For long rentals in the hot, humid months, ask how often units will be serviced. Long, hot event days mean more use per unit and tanks that fill sooner: plan a service visit between days of a multi-day event, keep queues short so nobody waits in the sun, and put hand-wash stations at every restroom row.
Occasional Freezes
Only about 12 nights a year reach 32°F (fewer than three in four U.S. places in our data), but one hard freeze is enough to damage anything that holds water. A winter event can still land on one of the few freezing nights; ask about it if your date is in winter.
Outdoor Season
With only about 12 freezing nights a year, heat rather than cold sets the plan: the summer months are the ones that call for extra servicing and shade (see Heat above).
Local Settings
For a party at an apartment complex or a rented home, the property manager or landlord decides where units can stand.
How Many Units
The Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI) chart sizes event restrooms by crowd and hours, assuming no servicing during the event:
| Crowd | 1 hr | 2 hrs | 3 hrs | 4 hrs | 5 hrs | 6 hrs | 7 hrs | 8 hrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 9 |
| 1,000 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 11 | 12 |
| 2,000 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
| 5,000 | 12 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 31 | 38 | 44 | 50 |
| 10,000 | 15 | 25 | 38 | 50 | 63 | 75 | 88 | 100 |
On one of Austin's roughly 123 days at 90°F or more, take a five-hour event for 1,000 people: the chart gives 9 units. If alcohol is served, PSAI adds 10–20%, which is 10 to 11 units after rounding up. For accessibility, 5% of 11 is 0.55, which rounds up to 1 ADA unit in a single cluster; split into 2 clusters of 6 and 5, each cluster needs its own, so 2 ADA units in total.
On hot days, add a service visit for anything longer and put hand-wash stations at every row. See the PSAI event chart for the full table.
Placement and Access
Put restroom rows on firm, level ground the service truck can reach, away from food prep, with ADA units on an accessible route and hand-wash stations beside the rows.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Austin is an incorporated city with its own municipal government. For a special event on public property, a park reservation, or restroom rows on a street or sidewalk, ask the Austin city government before you book what applies.
Austin spans Travis County and Williamson County; county-run parks and roads follow the county the site is in. If you rent your home, check with the landlord or property manager before a unit goes on the property.
What to Ask For
- Expected attendance, including staff, vendors and volunteers
- Event hours, and whether it runs over several days
- Whether alcohol or food will be served
- ADA units for every cluster (at least 5%, rounded up) and hand-wash stations
- Extra servicing on hot days
