Anyone who’s ever attended the Greenville Ave. Parade for St. Patty’s Day knows just how valuable a porta potty can be. It’s a diamond in the rough.
Apparently, the upcoming total solar eclipse is having a similar effect.
Forget trying to find a pair of eclipse glasses, the demand for porta potties is also incredibly high for the celestial event that’s just 11 days away.
According to NBC DFW, the city of Ennis reserved 100 porta potties six months in advance of the eclipse. Usually for a large event, the city reserves them three weeks out. John Banda, owner of Dallas-based North Texas Porta Potties, said, “Our main phone calls that we're getting right now is actually for the eclipse.”
The company is down to just a few dozen available porta potties for the event, though are at least half dozen porta-potty rental businesses in North Texas that say they are completely sold out.
