October 2026 outdoor concert: where to place porta potties to avoid power lines?

Put the clusters on the far side of the crowd from the power lines, so neither guests nor the service truck ever has to pass under them. On a fall concert I helped run, we walked the field with the route driver the week before, staked and taped off the whole line corridor, and treated that strip as a no drive zone. The units went in two banks at the edges of the main lawn, each with a straight lane back to the gate.

What helped most:

• Ask which truck they plan to send for drop off and for pump outs. A flatbed with a boom sits a lot taller than the vacuum truck, and that drop truck is the one I worry about near lines.
• Draw the truck access lane on your site map and send it with the order. Keep food trucks and bar lines out of it.
• Every cluster needs its own ADA unit. The 2010 ADA standard wants at least 5 percent of the units in each cluster accessible and never fewer than one, so two banks means at least two.
• If you go with a trailer, park it where the generator and water hookup sit well clear of the lines.
• Schedule the mid event service during a set change so the truck is not crossing a packed crowd.

Get the driver out for the walk through. They know their truck's reach better than anyone.
