herein.
The following rules and regulations shall apply for any application
for temporary toilet facilities:

that the temporary toilet facility contains a locking device suitable
to secure the facility and prohibit entry when it is not in use.
B. Temporary toilet facilities located on construction sites shall be
locked in order to prohibit entry between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and
7:00 a.m. the following day and at all other times when there is no

of this article. The provisions of this article shall be enforced
