Restrooms for Events and Jobs in Southern Indiana

Why the Indiana side is planned separately

Indiana is a different state with its own septage, event and placement rules, so a job or event on that side is planned to them and not to Kentucky's.

A permit or a pumping rule that applies in Louisville does not automatically apply in New Albany or Jeffersonville. The office on the Indiana side decides, and the plan is drawn to its answer.

This page does not set out Indiana's rules, because they were not searched for it. It says where the question must go, which is the office that covers the town.

Crossing the river with trucks and crews

The servicing truck and the crew cross the river by a bridge at a set time, and the route is planned around the crossing's traffic and any closures.

A truck crossing a bridge at the wrong hour can be held up for a long time. The route is set for the crossing's quieter hours, and any closure on the bridge is part of the traffic plan.

A crew that works on both banks needs a route it can drive each day, and the plan names the bridges it uses.

• A servicing route that names the bridge
• Crossing times set for quieter traffic
• Closures on the bridge checked in advance
• A route that works for a crew each day

Counts, ground and the river bank

The count and the ground are set for the Indiana site from the crowd or crew, and the units are placed above any flood line and well back from the river edge.

A site on the river bank has the same flood and soft-ground risks as the Kentucky riverfront, and the plan records the high-water mark for the Indiana site as well.

The count follows the crowd or the crew, and is set from the event or the job's own figures, not from a figure for a different town.

Records for each side

Each side of the river has its own record, so the Kentucky file and the Indiana file can each be shown to the office that asks for it.

A job across the river produces two sets of visits and two sets of records. Keeping them apart means each office sees only the record that applies to it, and nothing is lost in one combined file.

The record for each visit names the site, the side and the disposal site, so a question on either side can be answered from its own file.

Events that span both banks

A festival or race that uses both banks of the river is planned as two events with a shared route, each with its own permit file.

A race that starts in Kentucky and finishes in Indiana, or a festival with stages on both banks, uses one route and two sets of rules. The route is shared, and the restroom units are counted separately for each side.

The two files cross-refer to each other, so each office can see the other side's arrangements without reading the other file.

Bridge closures and the back-up route

A bridge closure can cut the truck's route to an Indiana site, so a back-up route is agreed before the first visit and noted on the schedule.

A closed bridge on the day of a visit means the truck takes a longer road or waits. The back-up route is agreed with the crew and the organiser before the job starts, and the schedule names the route for each visit.

When a closure is announced in advance, the visit is moved to a day the bridge is open, and the change is recorded.
