Porta Potty Rental in Mustang, OK 73064

A unit on your own property needs no city permit in Mustang. What the city does is the reverse of most places: it requires the unit on residential building sites rather than permitting it. The street is the one place where it says no.

The residential code requires the unit before work begins. On a Mustang residential site a porta potty has to be in place before any construction activity, serving everyone involved in the construction, and it may cover at most six lots with part of each lot within 200 feet. Your builder's plan rather than a permit counter decides the number.

The street is closed to obstructions, permanent or temporary. City law makes it unlawful to construct, erect, place, operate, maintain or permit to exist a long list of named items, and then adds any other obstruction, upon any part of any street, alley, boulevard, parkway, curbing or parking in the city. A separate rule bars obstructing a sidewalk so as to interfere unduly with pedestrians, or a street so as to interfere unduly with traffic and parking.

The one street permit nearby is a work permit. The code allows material or equipment on a sidewalk or roadway only where a permit specifically authorizes it, or in the part already blocked by the work underway, and all equipment and unused material comes off before the work reopens to traffic. That covers construction material during work rather than a standing restroom, so private ground is the practical answer. An administrative route the city has not published may exist, and Community Development is the office to ask.

If work is next to a street, the lighting duty is yours. Anyone doing construction or excavation on or beside a street, alley, sidewalk or public ground has to keep substantial guard rails and barriers up, and has to display lighted lanterns, lights or flares from sundown to sunup, of a type the building inspector approves. Each failure is a separate offense.

A carnival, circus or parade needs a nonprofit behind it. Mustang allows only carnivals, circuses and parades that are sponsored and underwritten by a nonprofit organization, institution or church of the city. A commercial promoter cannot run one in its own name. The sponsor notifies police, fire and city staff a month ahead with insurance and state inspection certificates, operating hours run from nine in the morning to midnight, and a parade needs the approval of the police and fire departments.

Oklahoma decides where the contents go. State environmental rules count the contents of a portable toilet as septage and require that septage to be handled as sewage at a permitted wastewater treatment facility or an approved pretreatment facility, while leaving land application open only for other kinds of septage. The state license behind that work carries training, an exam, documented disposal arrangements and multi-year records. Ask your account manager for the paperwork with the quote.
