Portable Restrooms
All Special Events must provide sufficient
restroom facilities for event attendees. When
on‐site facilities are insufficient, the event
sponsor must arrange and pay for supplemental
portable units to be delivered and removed for
the event.
The number of required toilets is based on the
duration of the event and number of people
anticipated to attend. Sanitary Services
Company provides this free Event Services
Guide, which includes calculations for portable
restrooms: http://www.ssc‐
inc.com/forms/EventServices2014.pdf
Events providing alcohol should plan for 40%
additional units. Competitive athletic events
should provide units at a ratio of 1 for every 50‐
75 participants.
A restroom inventory at City facilities is
available here.
Power Access
Events located in City facilities may utilize City
power connections for normal usage, where
available. However, the City is not responsible
for power failures and staff may not be
available to respond immediately to power‐
related issues.
Power sources provided by the event sponsor
shall be self‐contained and comply with the
National Electrical Code. Rubber guards should
be used when cords and/or cables cross public
walkways.
Generators must be separated from temporary
structures, tents and canopies by a minimum of
20 feet and be isolated from contact with the
public by fencing, enclosure or other approved
means.
