What does Whatcom County Health require for restrooms at events?

Whatcom County Health wants the event coordinator checklist 30 days before the event. Food workers at Whatcom County events need flush toilets with hot and cold running water, so portable toilets cover the public only. Vendors who apply less than two weeks out may be denied, so book units early too.

Each food booth needs its own temporary permit, and booths need a handwashing sink. Petting zoos and animal exhibits need hand washing stations or sanitizer.

• Plan public units with our porta potty calculator.
• Add hand washing stations near food lines and animal areas.
• Include an ADA wheelchair-accessible unit in every bank of toilets.
• See event rentals for Friday drop and Monday pickup.

Do you need a Whatcom County permit to place a porta potty on a county road?

Whatcom County requires a revocable encroachment permit to work in or temporarily use county right-of-way. The obstruction can't exceed half the Whatcom County right-of-way, must stay three feet from rail tracks, and can't close the road. Placing the unit on private land avoids the permit entirely.

Applications go to Public Works engineering with a site map, a description and a time estimate. Working without a permit is a misdemeanor under county code.

• Farm yards, driveways and job site lots are the easiest spots.
• Rural road shoulders are often soft and narrow, so pick a gravel pad.
• Inside city limits, the city's own permit rules apply instead.

Read our Washington jobsite toilet rules before a crew starts.

How do Nooksack floods and Mt. Baker Highway affect Whatcom County rentals?

The Nooksack River overflows near Everson in big floods, and the water drains north through Sumas into Canada. The November 2021 flood caused damage estimated near 50 million dollars across Whatcom County. Mt. Baker Highway (SR 542) runs 57 miles east, and its top section to Artist Point opens only in summer.

Fall and winter placements need high, firm ground. Call us when a flood watch is issued so we can move units in time.

• Everson, Nooksack and Sumas sit in the main overflow path.
• SR 542 serves Deming, Kendall, Maple Falls and Glacier; book cabin and trailhead jobs ahead.
• Berry and dairy farms need field units plus hand washing, one station per 20 workers.
