Who sets porta potty rules in Litchfield County towns?
Litchfield County has no county government, so each of the 26 towns sets its own permit rules. The Torrington Area Health District covers 17 of those towns, including Torrington, Litchfield and Watertown. New Milford, Washington, Woodbury and Sharon use the Housatonic Valley Health District.
Three towns near the Farmington Valley, Barkhamsted, New Hartford and Colebrook, use the Farmington Valley Health District. Bridgewater and Roxbury are part of the Newtown Health District, based in Fairfield County.
Fairs, farm stands and festivals with food vendors need temporary food permits from the right district. Ask the Torrington Area Health District or your town's district what hand-wash setup they expect at each food booth.
A unit on private land rarely needs a separate permit. Many Litchfield County homes use well water and septic, so keep units away from the well head and off septic covers. For town greens, ask the first selectman's office before delivery.
What makes porta potty rental in Litchfield County different?
Litchfield County rentals deal with hills, long gravel driveways, working farms and colder winters. Barn weddings in Washington, Kent and Litchfield often need restroom trailers. Farms with 11 or more hand-laborers fall under OSHA field sanitation rules. Winter lows inland run colder than the shoreline.
Many lots sit at the end of steep, unpaved drives. Our truck needs to get reasonably close, so tell us about grades, tight turns or low branches when you book.
Farm owners should know OSHA 29 CFR 1928.110. It applies when 11 or more hand-laborers work in the field. It calls for 1 toilet and 1 hand-wash facility per 20 workers, within a quarter-mile walk. A monthly porta potty rental with weekly service covers a harvest season.
Barn and estate wedding restroom rentals often need a trailer on a level spot with power. Fairs like the Goshen Fair on Labor Day weekend need extra units booked early.
Winter sets in sooner inland. Read our winter porta potty guide before a January build.
