Job sites follow OSHA. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires 1 unit for up to 20 workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 199 workers, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Hand washing has to be available where the work involves contaminants.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
More units on weekly service often costs less than fewer units on twice weekly, and it removes the queue at the peak as well. It is worth pricing both ways for a long Crystal Lake rental.
Where should units go on a Crystal Lake site?
On Crystal Lake sites with vehicle traffic, place units where a reversing truck cannot clip them and where workers do not have to cross a haul route to reach them.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Position units on the exit path at a Crystal Lake event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in McHenry County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Crystal Lake porta potty questions
How often will the unit be serviced in Crystal Lake?
Weekly is the standard on job sites. In summer heat, or with more than about 10 workers per unit, twice weekly keeps the unit usable.
Do restroom trailers need power and water?
Most do. Trailers typically need a standard power connection and either a water hookup or an onboard fresh water tank, and they need level ground to sit on.
What is the minimum rental period?
Events are priced per day. Job site rentals are normally monthly with weekly servicing included, and one month is the usual minimum.
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
Are the units cleaned before delivery?
Yes. Units are cleaned, restocked and deodorised at the yard before they go out, so the first use is on a fresh unit.
