OSHA's construction sanitation rule, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the floor: 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 up to 200; and 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers above 200. OSHA also expects a worker to reach a toilet within about a 10-minute walk. On a Watertown jobsite, the cold is the constraint: about 84 days a year with highs at or below freezing and roughly 35 nights at or below zero, so we recommend sizing above the OSHA minimum, winterizing every unit, and keeping a cleared path to the door. Tell us the crew size and we will size the order to the standard.

Our standard Watertown monthly rental includes 4 service visits over the 28-day period, roughly weekly. Each visit pumps the tank, sanitizes the interior, and restocks paper, soap, and hand sanitizer. From late fall through spring each visit also refreshes the antifreeze, and we ask that the path and service lane be cleared after snow; during a declared Snow Emergency we reschedule rather than skip. In summer we add a mid-week or between-day visit for softball and soccer tournaments, lakeside events, and large crews. Service is built into the rate, so it never depends on anyone remembering to call.

For an event open to the public, yes. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design require that at least 5 percent of the single-user portable toilets in each cluster be accessible, with a minimum of one, and each accessible unit is marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility. (Units provided only for construction workers are exempt.) In practice a small Watertown event needs at least one accessible unit; a larger one needs one per every 20 standard units. ADA units in Watertown run $374 for a weekend. The accessible unit has ground-level entry, interior grab bars, and a full wheelchair turning radius, and it needs firm, level ground with a clear approach path. Tell us your guest count and we will build the right ratio in.

On private property with clear truck access, a driveway, a jobsite, a farm or acreage, or a private lot, you generally do not need a city permit for a portable toilet in Watertown. The public way is different. The City of Watertown Engineering Division issues an Occupy Right-of-Way/Public Property permit for any disturbance in the City right-of-way or on public property, and it lists community events and temporary disturbances such as long-term trailer parking, materials storage, and temporary dumpsters among the uses it covers; any damage to city infrastructure must be repaired to the City Engineer's satisfaction. Portable toilets are not named on that list, so we confirm with Engineering before placing a unit in a street, on a sidewalk, or on public property. Permits are filed online through the city's OpenGov portal. A unit can never block a sidewalk, curb ramp, hydrant, or driveway. Tell us the exact address and we confirm what your spot needs before delivery.

A standard unit is the jobsite and everyday-event workhorse: enclosed, stocked, and cost-effective at $270/weekend. A deluxe flushing unit adds a foot-pump flushing bowl and an in-unit sink for guest-facing events like weddings and corporate functions at $374/weekend. A luxury restroom trailer is a climate-controlled, multi-stall unit with porcelain toilets, running-water sinks, and mirrors, indistinguishable from a fine-venue bathroom, from $1610/weekend. Pick by how guest-facing the site is and how long the rental runs.

Yes. We deliver and service portable toilets throughout Watertown and the surrounding Codington County area, with same-day and next-day drop-offs available in most of the area when you book early. Weekend event units are delivered clean before your event and picked up after. Enter your ZIP or call (866) 858-3867 and we will confirm the soonest available delivery for your address.

Yes. A freestanding hand-wash station pairs with any toilet unit and needs no power or water hookup: it has a foot-pump faucet, soap, and paper towels, stocked at delivery and every service visit. One station serves roughly four toilet units, the ratio most health departments expect. For food and drink events in Watertown, plan a station near the vendors and one near the toilets to cover both inspection points.

Yes, with a winter setup. Watertown averages a January high near 22 degrees, about 35 nights a year at or below zero, and roughly 40 inches of snow, so we add antifreeze to the tank and refresh it at every service, set the unit on a firm, level pad out of drifting snow, and ask that the path and service lane be cleared after each storm. Keep it on private ground: the city can declare a Snow Emergency by zone at any time, and vehicles must be off the roadways in active plowing zones until they are cleared curb to curb. If the street or a sidewalk is the only option, the city's Occupy Right-of-Way/Public Property permit from the Engineering Division is the path for temporary items in the public way, and we confirm it with the city before delivery.
