Moab at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Moab Canyonland Ap, UT station, about 17 miles away. Conditions on your site can differ from the station's.
Planning Around the Weather
The closest NOAA climate-normals station, Moab Canyonland Airport, UT, is about 17 miles from Moab's Census point, far enough that conditions on your site can differ; treat the 1991–2020 normals below as a guide. DOE's Building America map puts Grand 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. 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 138 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. 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.
Heat
About 84 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. About 17 days a year go past 100°F. On sunny, dry sites, place units in shade where the site allows. In the summer months, ask how often units will be pumped and restocked, and put them where they get afternoon shade.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Homes From the 1970s and 1980s
The median year built for Moab's housing is 1979 (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.
Mobile Homes
The most common housing type is detached houses, about 56% of units (lower than most U.S. places in our data), followed by mobile homes at about 18% (ACS 2020–2024). Detached houses usually have a driveway or yard where a crew's unit can stand within reach of the service truck. In a manufactured-home community, the community's management decides where a unit for setup or repair work can stand. About 40% 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.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the floor: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then a seat and a urinal per 40 (per 50 at 200 or more). More on sizing: construction rentals in Utah.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A four-hour summer event for 2,000 people needs 12 units on the PSAI event chart, or 14 to 15 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.
Both seasons matter: a restroom trailer for a summer wedding needs power for its air conditioning, and one for a winter date needs heat and protected water lines. At open-field events on dry, exposed ground, ask for units to be staked. More: event rentals in Utah and wedding restrooms in Utah.
Who to Ask About Local Rules
Moab 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 Moab city government before you book what applies.
In a manufactured-home community, ask the community's management first.
