Can I put a porta potty at a Walker Lake or Palmshores house party?
Yes. Lakeside yards in Walker Lake and Palmshores work well if the truck can reach a firm, level spot set back from the water’s edge. For a 6-hour party of 100 guests, plan 3 standard units, or 4 if alcohol is served. Deluxe flushing units add a sink with no hookups.
| La Joya party | Guests / hours | Units we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Lake-house birthday | 60 / 4 hr | 2 standard (60 ÷ 50, rounded up) |
| Family reunion by the lake | 100 / 6 hr | 3 standard + 1 handwashing station |
| Quinceañera with bar | 150 / 6 hr | 7 standard, or a restroom trailer |
| Boat-day cookout | 30 / 8 hr | 2 standard |
