There is a rough formula for determining how many toilets
are going to be needed at an event. It involves calculating how many hours the
event is expected to last, coupled with the total number of people expected to
show up. Variables include the amount of physical activity is anticipated at
the event and what the whether is going to be like.
The more active people are at an event, the more often they
are going to need to use the restroom. Rainy weather at outdoors events tends
to drive more people to the bathroom, in part from the psychological effect of
all that water, and in part from a desire to dry off. Generally speaking,
people will require sanitation facilities every four hours or so, but the
steady consumption of food and beverages is going to increase the need by as
much as forty percent.
The solution to a crowded event is to bring on portable
toilets. They have been around since the 1940s and are a boon to events at
remote locations or where the number of people overwhelms the usual facilities.
They began necessities at construction sites and have become essential to large
outdoor events all over the world.
Call Ahead is a New York area porta potty business that has
been serving the needs of the city for nearly forty years. President and CEO
Charles W Howard took over the business from his father in 1981 and has greatly
expanded it, and introduced such innovations as luxury trailer bathrooms that
are a far cry from the simple porta potties that have historically been the
norm at outdoor events.
