A written Request Form will be required to be emailed or faxed to the contractor. Skookum needs a minimum of 10 working days to process latrines requests.

  • Quantity of latrines and hand wash stations needed
  • Location:
    • Skookum may require a map for exact locations
    • Latrines must be placed in a safe, flat, location that is accessible by Skookum’s service vehicles
    • If the location is inside a restricted area then arrangements must be made to escort Skookum workers in and out of the area. Please ensure the escort is onsite to meet the contractor to avoid delays.
    • The contractor cannot place latrines in areas designated for endangered species or cultural sites. (Check with Range control.)
  • Note: Once a latrine is put in place, if a customer requires the latrine or hand wash to be moved to another location, additional fees may apply.
  • Customers are not authorized to move latrines or hand wash as this may result in an environmental hazard or damage.
  • The contractor does not supply trash receptacles. If any trash is placed in the latrines the unit will be required to remove it.
  • If the customer damages the latrine or hand wash, they will be required to reimburse the contractor for repairs or replacement.
