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.
Events run on planning ratios rather than regulation. The common starting point is 1 unit per 50 guests for a 4 hour event, then more units as the hours and headcount climb, plus roughly 15 percent extra when alcohol is served.
A service visit pumps the tank, washes the interior, restocks the paper and adds fresh deodoriser. Weekly covers roughly 100 uses, which is about 10 workers across a five day week.
What do Ann Arbor organisers need to know?
Lighting is worth planning for any Ann Arbor event running past dusk. Units without internal lighting become unusable after dark unless the surrounding area is lit.
Keep about 5 by 5 feet clear per unit and leave the approach for the service truck open. Both matter for the whole rental rather than just the delivery day.
For a Ann Arbor event longer than about eight hours, ask about a mid event service. Short events are delivered clean and collected after, with nothing in between by default.
Hand sanitiser in a standard unit is useful but is not the same provision as a sink. Where Ann Arbor work involves contaminants, the station is what the rule asks for.

Ann Arbor porta potty questions
Are urinal only units available in Ann Arbor?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
How much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
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 is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
How many units do I need for 150 guests?
Start at 3 standard units for a 4 hour event. Add roughly 15 percent if alcohol is served, include at least one ADA unit, and add one hand wash station.
