Nevada Event Restroom and Shower Trailers: Units, ADA, and Health Permits
Sizing restroom and shower trailers for a Nevada event, with the ADA rule and the health districts to call. It is for organizers, promoters, and venue managers who need to match stall counts to attendance, add accessible units under the 2010 ADA Standards, and plan water, power, and wastewater for a temporary setup that passes the health district's review.
Key points
- Plan accessible units for 5 percent of each cluster of portable units (2010 ADA Standards).
- Clark County events go through the Southern Nevada Health District; Washoe County events through Northern Nevada Public Health.
- Restroom trailers and luxury combos give guests flushing toilets, sinks, and lighting.
Rodeos, races, festivals, and weddings bring crowds to places without enough restrooms. Restroom trailers and luxury shower-restroom combos make the difference between portable toilets and something guests remember well.
How many units
Start from attendance, event length, and whether food and drink are served, then confirm with the health authority issuing your permit: the Southern Nevada Health District in Clark County or Northern Nevada Public Health in Washoe County. For multi-day events where guests or crews stay over, add shower capacity using our shower sizing guide.
Accessible units
Where portable toilet or bathing units are clustered, the 2010 ADA Standards set the accessible share at 5 percent of each cluster (Section 213.2, Exception 3). An ADA combo trailer covers it, with a ramp to the door.
Delivery
Check the forecast for the event days and plan placement on level ground with access for delivery and service. Rent by the week for a weekend event and its setup days.
