Porta Potties for Flood Cleanup Along the Kentucky River
The Kentucky River crested at 48.27 feet at Frankfort on April 8, 2025, the second-highest on record. Floods knock out plumbing, close businesses and bring cleanup crews. Porta potties and hand washing stations keep crews, shelters and families working while sewer and water come back.

When do flood-damaged homes need a porta potty?
Flood-damaged homes need a porta potty when the sewer backs up, the septic field is underwater or the water is off. Do not use household toilets until the utility says lines are clear. A unit at the driveway keeps the family and the cleanup crew out of a damaged bathroom.
Where should units go after a flood?
Units after a flood should go on the highest firm ground near the work, never in standing water or soft mud. Truck access matters most. If the drive is washed out, we place at the nearest firm spot on the road edge. Check Franklin County flood information before you choose the spot.
- Keep units uphill from wells and drinking-water lines.
- Add a hand washing station; floodwater carries sewage.
- Mark the unit for crews working long days.
How many units does a cleanup crew or shelter need?
A cleanup crew needs 1 unit per 10 workers with twice-weekly service, because crews work long hours. Shelters need about 1 unit per 25 residents with daily or every-other-day service, plus hand washing stations and accessible units. Large shelter orders are planned with the agency on the call.

Can you move a unit if the river is rising?
A unit can be moved before the river rises when you call early. Call as soon as a flood warning is issued. We move units off low ground before the water arrives, when roads are open. Pick a backup spot on high, firm ground.
Do you deliver to emergency management agencies?
Emergency management agencies can order units, hand washing stations and trailers. Churches and relief groups can order the same way. Invoices can be billed to the agency. Same-day delivery runs Monday through Saturday when roads are safe.
Is same-day delivery possible during a flood?
Same-day delivery is possible during a flood whenever roads are safe to drive. Closed roads and bridges set the actual timing. Call by 12 p.m. near Frankfort, or by 10 a.m. for towns farther out. Tell us which roads are open on your side.
