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.
For a Williamsburg event the arithmetic is: guests divided by 50, rounded up, plus one unit per 100 guests for every two hours beyond four, plus about 15 percent if alcohol is served.
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 Williamsburg rental.
Where should units go on a Williamsburg site?
On Williamsburg 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.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Williamsburg crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in James City County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Williamsburg porta potty questions
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Williamsburg?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
How much notice do you need for a Williamsburg job site?
A few days is usually enough for a standard unit. Trailers, ADA units and large multi unit orders need longer, particularly in peak season.
Are urinal only units available?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they can cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
What do I do if a unit is damaged or tipped over?
Call the provider straight away. Most will right and reservice a tipped unit quickly, and damage caused by vandalism is usually covered by the rental terms.
Do you provide units for James City County public events?
Yes. Public events usually need at least one ADA accessible unit, and the local authority may specify counts and placement as part of the event permit.
