Saint Paul Porta Pros rents portable sink stations with a built-in fresh water tank and a foot pump or gravity feed, no plumbing hookup needed. Units run about $100 to $175 a week depending on options like hot water. They work for job sites, food vendors, camps and events across Saint Paul.
A portable sink station is a self-contained unit with a fresh water tank, a wastewater tank underneath, and a basin on top. No hose bib, no drain line. You fill the tank, and the sink runs off a foot pump or a small onboard pump until it needs a refill. Saint Paul Porta Pros sets these up next to standard porta potty rental units on construction sites, or as standalone handwashing station rental equipment for events. Some crews pair a portable sink with a deluxe flushable porta potty so a jobsite has both a real toilet and a place to scrub up. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand-drying device, and hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that. A portable sink with soap in the dispenser covers that requirement without a trailer full of plumbing. For agriculture crews, OSHA 1928.110 calls for a handwashing facility within a quarter mile of hand-labor employees, which is exactly the radius a portable sink covers well on a farm site.
Yes. Saint Paul Porta Pros offers hot water portable sink units for an added cost over the standard cold-water model, useful for food service, medical setups and winter job sites. A hot water portable sink for hair washing or general cleanup runs a small heating element or a pre-heated tank, so operators do not need an external power hookup for basic warm water. Crews running a temporary power pole on site sometimes wire in a heated unit anyway if they are also running a light tower rental for early morning shifts. For camping portable sink setups where guests want to wash hair or dishes, the hot water option matters more than the tank size. Saint Paul winters make cold water uncomfortable fast, and a porta potty in winter setup often gets the hot water sink paired next to it for that reason. Ask about tank capacity when booking, since portable sink water tanks vary by model and a larger tank means fewer refills during a long event day.

A delivery fee applies on top of the rental, typically $50 to $100 for a week-long booking or $120 to $172 for a month, depending on distance from Saint Paul. If you are comparing a portable sink against other cleanup gear for the same job, check the dumpster rental cost page too, since many construction sites book both together. For longer commitments, a monthly porta potty rental bundled with a sink station often costs less overall than renting each separately week to week. Saint Paul event planners booking a festival restroom rental package or a wedding restroom rental setup usually add one or two portable sinks per restroom cluster rather than per guest count, since ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline service interval of once weekly for up to 10 users over a 40 hour week, and that same logic applies to sink servicing frequency.
Job sites are the most common call. A framing crew or a remodel job covered under home renovation porta potty service often adds a sink so workers are not tracking dust into a truck cab. Food trucks and vendors at events need one for compliance, and a county fair restrooms or concert restroom rental package typically includes several units spaced around vendor rows. Farms fall under OSHA 1928.110 for field sanitation, and a farm and agricultural restrooms setup pairs a portable sink with the toilet unit at that same quarter-mile spacing standard. Film crews booking film set restroom rental gear often want a sink near catering. Saint Paul disaster response teams have used portable sinks as part of disaster relief sanitation deployments when normal water service is down. Camping groups renting a camping porta potty setup for a group site frequently add a sink for dishes and hand washing since there is no other water source nearby. West St. Paul sits 4.3 miles south of Saint Paul and gets the same delivery options, as does Maplewood 8.8 miles northeast.
It depends on tank size and use, but a unit serving 10 to 15 people over a workday typically needs a refill once, sometimes twice. Saint Paul Porta Pros checks levels during scheduled service stops. Heavier hand-washing use, like a food vendor booth, drains the tank faster than a jobsite crew washing up twice a day.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. For a private lot or jobsite, no separate permit typically applies to the sink itself. Check the porta potty permit requirements page for the general placement rules that also cover accessory equipment like sinks.
Yes, especially the hot water models. A portable sink to wash hair works best with a wider basin and a sprayer attachment rather than a simple foot-pump faucet. Ask Saint Paul Porta Pros for the hair-washing configuration when booking for camps or medical outreach events.
They overlap. Some handwashing stations are simpler, gravity-fed units with a small tank, while a full portable sink station has a larger basin and sometimes a mirror or counter space. Both meet the same basic sanitation intent under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) for soap and drying access.
A common ratio is one sink per toilet cluster, though crew size drives the real number. Check the how many porta potties do i need guide, since sink counts generally scale the same way toilet counts do under OSHA 1926.51(c).
