A hand-wash station is a standalone sink, not a restroom, it pairs with portable toilets to give workers and guests soap-and-water hand washing where no permanent plumbing exists. The standard 2-bay unit serves roughly 10-15 people between refills; a 4-bay unit doubles that capacity for a busy event or crew. Each bay uses a foot pump or push spigot that draws from the top fresh-water tank, so two people can wash at once without waiting. Greywater drains into a sealed lower reservoir that our team empties on service or pickup, which keeps runoff off the ground on a Butchertown lot or a Cherokee Park event field.
Decision-fit comes down to headcount and duration. A single 2-bay station fits a small remodel crew in Crescent Hill or a backyard graduation party in St. Matthews. A 4-bay unit, or two stations spaced apart, suits a festival stretch along the Highlands or a multi-trade construction site in Portland where dozens of hands need washing through the day. The trade-off is simple: more bays and a larger tank mean fewer mid-day refills but a slightly higher rate and a bigger footprint to place. For food-service events near Waterfront Park or a Germantown block party, health-department guidance generally expects hand-washing access wherever food is served, so a station near the serving line is the common pairing.
Placement matters for the tanks to gravity-feed correctly: the station needs level, firm ground within reach of our delivery truck. Gravel pads on a Fern Creek job site, paved lots in Old Louisville, and grass in Shawnee all work as long as the surface is flat. For multi-week rentals, our team schedules soap, towel, and fresh-water refills so a unit does not run dry, refill frequency depends on your headcount, which we set when booking. Winter placements in Jefferson County can freeze standing water, so cold-weather rentals may use tank additives or shorter service intervals.
A hand-wash station rental is billed for the rental period and includes delivery and pickup inside our standard Louisville service area. The $250 minimum covers a single standard unit for a short period; longer terms, extra bays, and additional refill visits raise the total. Quotes are all-in ballparks, and the exact figure is confirmed before delivery so the final bill matches what was quoted.
