Concerned about flooding sweeping portable restrooms away from property along the Saco River in Conway, New Hampshire, town selectmen approved a rule to ban restrooms from the floodplain, according to the Conway Daily Sun. In flooding last year, a number of portable restrooms were pulled into the rushing waters, creating what town officials said were public health concerns.
After the localized flooding, many permanent structures were removed from riverfront properties and only temporary trailer campers are being allowed in the flood-prone areas, according the story. Campers must be able to be moved quickly in the event of a flood. The rules allow portable restrooms only for special events and they have to be easily moved.

Would your business be impacted if a rule like this is adopted in your service area? Do you have units set up in parks, at homes or public boat launches that would be considered floodplain areas? Have you had to address concerns like these?
