Conditions at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Salt Lake City Intl Ap, UT station, about 2 miles away.
Ground and Route Conditions
DOE's Building America map puts Salt Lake 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.
Snow and Access
Average snowfall is about 52 inches a year, more than three in four U.S. places in our data, enough to bury a ground-level path several times a winter. Snow on the accessible route blocks it: clear the full width of the route to the door and the ramp, not just a footpath.
Freezing Nights
About 112 nights a year reach 32°F or below, more than most U.S. places in our data, mostly between late fall and early spring. On frosty mornings, check the ramp and route for ice before people arrive.
Heat
About 62 days a year reach 90°F or more, more than most 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 cluster | Accessible units (minimum) |
|---|---|
| 1 to 20 | 1 |
| 21 to 40 | 2 |
| 41 to 60 | 3 |
| 61 to 80 | 4 |
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
Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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
- Who clears the route and ramp after snow
