Public dump stations see harder use, less supervision, and stricter compliance requirements than private campground sites. The equipment you install needs to hold up to heavy daily traffic, meet code requirements, and be simple enough that the public can use it without on-site staff.
The Tower Company has been providing dump station equipment to parks, campgrounds, highway rest areas, and public facilities since 1965. Our Romort Water Tower Kit and related equipment are built to the standards that public facility managers need: durable, code-compliant, and low-maintenance.
A complete public dump station typically includes several components working together.
The Romort Water Tower Kit provides the water source for rinsing and, in potable configurations, for freshwater fill-up. The tower includes a vacuum breaker for backflow prevention, a self-storing hose and nozzle that stay off the ground, and a design that meets ADA requirements. The 29-foot reach covers standard dump pad layouts without repositioning.
The OPW Sanitary Tank Hatch Cover (Model 269) provides a durable, lockable lid for the dump station inlet. The foot-operated design allows hands-free opening, and the lockable cover prevents unauthorized dumping. It is made of ductile iron and built to handle constant use at public facilities.
Dump station plumbing, site sewer caps, and instructional signage round out a complete installation. We carry all of these components and can help you spec a full setup.
Public dump stations face challenges that private campground stations do not. They are often unsupervised, used by people with varying levels of experience, and expected to stay operational year-round in some climates.
The Romort is designed with these conditions in mind. The self-storing nozzle reduces vandalism risk because there is no loose hose to damage or steal. The simple operation means minimal signage and instruction are needed. The durable construction handles the volume and abuse that come with public access.
For facilities that need year-round operation, frost-free installation options are available. The water supply connects below the frost line, and the tower can be drained and stored during extended shutdowns.
All Romort Water Tower Kits meet or exceed EPA, OSHA, ANSI, and Environmental Health standards. The equipment meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. These compliance standards apply to both potable and non-potable water configurations.
When installing at a public facility, always check with your local jurisdiction for any additional code requirements specific to your area.
