Bloomington Porta Pros rents portable sink stations with fresh water tanks, foot pumps or hot water options, running from single-basin camp sinks to multi-station units for crews of 20 or more. Rentals pair well with a portable toilet rental or standalone handwashing station rental and price out with delivery, same as our other units.
A portable sink is a self-contained basin with its own fresh water supply, usually a tank in the 5 to 20 gallon range for camp-style units, paired with a wastewater holding tank underneath or beside it. No plumbing hookup needed. Most run on a foot pump or hand pump to draw water through the tap, and some rent as hot water portable sink units with a small heater built into the base. For job sites, we usually pair these with a portable sink station sized to crew count rather than a single small camp unit. If you are also renting a standard porta potty rental for the same site, ordering both together on one delivery run saves a trip charge. Bloomington crews working near Ellettsville, 8.7 miles northwest, or Smithville-Sanders, 8.1 miles south, often combine a sink station with toilets on the same drop.
Because handwashing after certain work is not optional, it is required. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where employees apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or work around other harmful contaminants, and a portable sink with soap and towels satisfies that need on a site with no running water. Separately, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires that washing facilities include soap and towels or a hand-drying device, not hand sanitizer alone, so a sink station has to be stocked, not just present. Farm operations have their own standard: OSHA 1928.110 calls for potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk for hand-labor employees, at one facility per 20 workers, which matters for growers working land outside Bloomington near Stanford, 9.5 miles southwest. If your crew is already tracking OSHA portable toilet requirements, the sink obligation runs alongside it, not instead of it. Renovation crews handling paint or solvent strip work fall squarely under the (f)(1) trigger, so a home renovation porta potty order should include a sink.
Yes. A portable sink to wash hair works fine for camping trips, remote film shoots or disaster response staging, provided the basin is deep enough and the water is warm. A hot water portable sink for hair washing needs a heater element or a pre-heated tank, since foot-pump units draw whatever temperature the tank holds. Crews on film set restroom rental jobs frequently add a sink station near wardrobe or makeup for exactly this reason, and camping porta potty renters near longer stays do the same. Portable sink water tanks refill by hose or by hand, and most camp-style units hold enough for a full day of moderate use before a refill run. For weekend festivals or reunions, a single sink station usually covers a modest guest count without constant refilling, especially paired with a deluxe flushable porta potty nearby so guests aren't walking far between the two.
Pricing runs by unit type and rental length, and a sink station typically rides alongside toilet or trailer pricing rather than as a completely separate cost center. Delivery is charged once per trip in most cases.
| item | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| delivery fee | day | $150 |
| delivery fee | week | $100 |
| delivery fee | month | $172 |
| service fee | week | $60 |
| service fee | month | $150 |
Longer rentals cost more in total but less per day, the same pattern you'll see on our monthly porta potty rental and porta potty rental per day pages. If you're comparing full costs across unit types, the porta potty rental cost page breaks down toilets specifically, and restroom trailer rental cost covers trailer units if you need a sink built into a larger restroom trailer instead of a standalone station. Weekend events run a flat service rate rather than a daily rate, so ask about that when booking around a Bloomington weekend date.
Ordering ahead matters more than most people expect. A porta potty rental checklist helps you figure out how many sink stations to pair with how many toilets, and our how many porta potties do I need guide covers headcount math that applies to sink stations too, roughly one station per toilet cluster on most job sites.
Yes, every portable sink rental comes with its own fresh water supply, usually a 5 to 20 gallon tank depending on the unit. There's no hookup to city water. Wastewater collects in a separate holding tank underneath, which we empty on the same schedule as your toilets.
Service follows the same interval as portable toilets on your site, generally weekly under ANSI/PSAI Z4.3's baseline for moderate use. High-traffic events or large crews may need mid-week refills and pump-outs, which we schedule at delivery.
Yes, sink stations rent standalone for kitchens, food trucks, film sets or any site needing handwashing without a full restroom setup. Many customers add one to an existing toilet order instead, since it shares the same delivery trip and cuts the delivery fee.
Hot water units hold up better in winter, but any exposed tank risks freezing below a certain temperature. Check our porta potty in winter page for how we handle cold-weather service, since the same freeze risk applies to sink tanks.
Not universally. It's required specifically where workers apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or face similar contaminants, under 1926.51(f)(1). General sites still need potable water under 1926.51(a)(1) even without that trigger.
