We do not stock or install electrical temporary power poles ourselves. San Tan Valley Porta Pros handles the sanitation and site-support side of a job site: portable toilets, fencing, dumpsters and storage, and a standard porta potty rental starts at 100 dollars a day. For the pole itself, an electrician pulls the permit and the utility sets the meter, but we can drop everything else, down to a portable sink rental or a handwashing station rental, at the same site the same week.
A temporary power pole is a metered post, often built for 200 amp service, that gives a construction site services project or a home renovation porta potty job power before permanent utility lines are connected. Most jurisdictions require one whenever a project needs electricity for tools, lighting or trailers before the building itself is wired. Confirm the exact rule with your city, since permit and inspection requirements are not something we track here at San Tan Valley Porta Pros. What we do handle: the construction site services around that pole, including toilets rated for job-site crews under OSHA 1926.51(c), which sets 1 toilet for 20 workers or fewer. If your crew needs washing facilities because of paints, coatings or solvents, that falls under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1), a separate rule from general sanitation.
Installation cost depends on amperage, distance from the transformer and your electrician's rate, none of which we quote, though our porta potty rental cost and dumpster rental cost pages cover what we do price. What we can price is everything sharing the yard with it. A standard porta potty rental runs 100 to 350 dollars a day depending on term, and a full month lands between 125 and 325 dollars. If the pole and panel need a fenced perimeter while the site is unattended, temporary fence rental runs 30 to 75 dollars a day per panel run, and a chain link temporary fence is the common choice for that perimeter; see temporary fence cost for more on pricing by panel count.
| item | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard toilet | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| temp fence panel | 30-75 | n/a | n/a |
| delivery fee | 100-500 | 50-150 | 120-420 |
Delivery timing matters here. A roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, and the same clearance thinking applies to a utility bucket truck setting a pole. Plan your site layout, including storage container rental placement, a 20ft storage container or mobile office trailer rental for the crew, around that access lane before anyone shows up.
Most site diagrams put the pole near the point of utility connection, set back from active traffic and equipment swing radius. Coordinate that placement with whoever is drawing your porta potty placement guide, since sanitation units, an ADA accessible porta potty, light tower rental units, a temporary power pole and even a 10 yard dumpster rental all compete for the same edge-of-site real estate. San Tan Valley sites often stage this equipment along the property line closest to the road for easier delivery access. If you are building out a jobsite near Florence, 17.3 miles southeast, or coordinating a crew from Apache Junction, 18.5 miles north, your delivery lead time may shift with distance, so ask about scheduling when you request a quote. We also serve Mesa, 23.4 miles northwest, Coolidge, 23.6 miles south, and Blackwater, 23.7 miles south, from our San Tan Valley base.
No. We supply portable toilets, restroom trailer rental, a porta john rental, dumpsters, fencing and storage. An electrical contractor and the utility company handle the pole, the panel and the meter itself. Ask us about staging everything else on the same delivery day, or start with construction dumpster rental if debris removal is next on the list.
200 amp service is common on residential and light commercial builds, though your electrician sizes it to your tools and trailers. That sizing decision sits outside what we quote at San Tan Valley Porta Pros.
Likely yes, but permit rules vary by jurisdiction and we have not verified San Tan Valley's specific requirements. Check with the city before scheduling installation, the same way you would for dumpster permit requirements, fencing, or porta potty permit requirements for the toilets themselves.
We do not rent generators. Some sites use one temporarily while waiting on utility connection. Talk to your electrician about code compliance either way.
Timeline depends on your utility's queue and inspection schedule, not something we control. Once power is confirmed, we can typically deliver portable restroom rental units and fencing within days, and an emergency porta potty rental can move even faster if the schedule slips. See our service areas page for delivery windows.
Yes. San Tan Valley Porta Pros delivers temporary power pole across San Tan Valley and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
Pricing depends on the unit and how long you need it. See our cost breakdown and request a free quote for an exact figure.
Standard rentals include scheduled service — a pump-out, a clean, a restock and fresh deodorizer. Busy or hot-weather sites can be serviced more often.
