Plaza days, art walks and heritage festivals
The plaza at the center of San Elizario fills several times a year for art walks, heritage celebrations and holiday markets. Those San Elizario weekends take banks of standard units on the paved edges of the plaza, with deluxe flushing units near the stage and handwashing stations at every vendor row.
Crowds in San Elizario arrive on foot and wander between galleries, so a bank tucked out of sight at one end simply will not get used. We split San Elizario placements into small clusters around the plaza rather than one wall of units at the back.
Weddings, chapel events and private halls
The chapel and the old adobe buildings make San Elizario a popular spot for weddings, and many of those receptions spill into courtyards with no plumbing. For a San Elizario reception we bring the climate-controlled restroom trailer where power allows, or a deluxe flushing unit and an accessible unit where it does not.
Parking and narrow adobe-lined lanes make delivery in San Elizario a matter of timing rather than muscle. We set San Elizario event units early in the morning before guest cars fill the side streets around the plaza.
Farm ground, levee work and desert conditions
Away from the plaza, San Elizario is still cotton, alfalfa and pecan ground running down to the river levee. Farm crews around San Elizario keep a standard unit with a handwashing station near the equipment shed, moved once or twice a season as blocks are worked.
Flood irrigation and monsoon runoff both leave San Elizario ground soft in spots that looked solid a day earlier. We put San Elizario units on caliche pads, gravel turn-ins or the levee access road where a loaded truck has dependable footing.
