Porta Potty Rental in Monroeville, PA 15146

Monroeville is one of the few places in the country where the county, not the state, gives you both numbers, and the county is tougher than the national rule on construction.

• Allegheny County beats the federal table on a job site. The county health department requires non-sewered toilets at a building construction site where none are otherwise available, once workers spend six hours or more on site in a day. The only carve-out is the construction of a single family dwelling.
• The county count depends on how often you service. On weekly servicing it is one unit for 1 to 10 workers, two for 11 to 20, three for 21 to 30, four for 31 to 40, and one more for every additional ten workers. Where you service more than once a week it is one unit for 1 to 15, two for 16 to 35, three for 36 to 55, four for 56 to 75, five for 76 to 95, and one more for every additional 20. Servicing here means emptying the waste and cleaning the unit, not just a look inside.
• Compare that with the national floor. The federal construction standard asks one facility for 20 workers or fewer, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers above 20, and one per 50 workers past 200. At a crew of 15 on weekly service the county asks two where the federal table asks one, so count off the county.
• Public sector work has a tighter state table. Federal rules preempt the Commonwealth's construction regulations for private work, but the state table stays in force for public sector construction: one closet for 1 to 15 people, two for 15 to 30, three for 30 to 60, four for 60 to 100, five for 100 to 150, then one more per 50.
• Events run off the county's event table. It is keyed to peak crowd size against the average hours people spend on site, with men's and women's units listed separately, and it is built on the stated assumptions of no more than ten people queuing per unit and roughly two hours between uses. A peak crowd of 500 over four hours comes out at four men's units and five women's; a peak of 1,000 over the same four hours comes out at seven and nine.
• Very large events can propose an alternative. Above 10,000 people the county allows an alternate plan, submitted for approval 30 days before the event.
• Handwashing has a county ratio where food is served. The county's food safety rules require at least one handwashing or hand-antiseptic station wherever non-sewered toilets are used, and one for every five of them for public use. A plain job site still needs lavatories under the federal rule, just not at that ratio.
• Accessible units follow the federal design standards: roughly 5 percent of a public group, never fewer than one, under the federal accessibility standards.
