Local dataWhat is happening around Hanover that affects shower and restroom rentals
1 Emergency past events and required construction
On November 7, 2026, Hanover Fire responded to a report of an electrical fire at Dartmouth's Thompson Arena during a men's hockey game, and the arena was evacuated, according to WCAX. In April 2025, a power outage swept Hanover from about 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with more than 4,600 people in the region without power, according to WMUR and Valley News, and the outage affected downtown Hanover and the Route 120 corridor. A January 2026 storm closed Richmond Middle School and Hanover High School on January 26. Fires at big venues and outages across a downtown take restaurants, labs and dorm kitchens offline at once. A shower and restroom combination trailer gives crews private suites on the pad, a refrigeration trailer protects food and lab samples when power fails, and a mobile kitchen can feed a crowd or a dining hall's staff. Send the address, headcount, water source and power for a written quote.

2 Major construction projects
A Hanover committee recommended in February 2026 that the town allocate $47 million to long-term infrastructure and projects over the next two years, and a town official said that until plans are done for items like new sewage pump systems, the magnitude of construction cost is unknown. A Valley News audio summary reports that a construction worker fell 20 feet from a ladder at Dartmouth's Thompson Arena and was rescued by the Hanover Fire Department, which shows active construction there, though the date is not shown. Sewer, arena and campus work puts crews on tight village streets and on a campus with strict rules, far from a restroom near the work. A restroom trailer or a shower and restroom combination trailer at a staging area keeps a crew on site, and a mobile kitchen can feed a long shift. Plans are not final, so confirm the schedule. Send the staging address, crew size, power and water.

3 Major renovation projects
The Thompson Arena fire and the construction work reported there show a large campus building that is both under work and in daily use. We found no other large building renovation in Hanover in our research. Campus venues, dining halls and labs take kitchens, restrooms and cold storage out of use when they are renovated or evacuated, and events such as hockey games and commencement still need somewhere to wash and eat. We do not claim Dartmouth or any contractor is a customer. These are illustrative fits. A restroom trailer can keep an event open during construction, a shower and restroom combination trailer serves a work crew or athletes, and a mobile kitchen with a dishwashing trailer and a refrigeration trailer can feed an event or a crew when a kitchen is closed. Send the dates, headcount and power and water details for a written quote, and say if the site is on campus, because that changes who must approve a unit.

4 Emergency equipment routes
A truck coming to Hanover should expect a roads-first conversation, because we publish no dispatch point and price delivery per job. The state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management sits within the Department of Safety at 33 Hazen Drive in Concord, about 46 straight-line miles from Hanover. Interstate 89 is the main road south, with Route 120 linking Hanover to Lebanon and Route 10 running along the river. Lebanon, our hub city, is about 7 straight-line miles south, Lyme about 8 and Enfield about 9. The village's streets are narrow, campus lots have their own rules, and winter storms close hill roads. Those figures are straight-line, road miles run longer. This is planning information, not a dispatch promise. Tell us gate widths, overhead clearance and where the unit will sit, and who will meet the driver. A clear delivery plan saves hours when campus traffic is heavy or hill roads are icy.

5 Local equipment pricing
Hanover pricing follows the directory rates used everywhere else. The 13 ft luxury combination trailer, with three private suites, lists at $2,995 for 1–14 days or $3,995 a month, and the 22 ft unit with six suites at $4,995 or $5,995, which suits a campus event, a utility crew or an outage response.

Rates for the 30 ft and ADA combination units are still being confirmed, so ask for a quote. Delivery to Hanover is priced per job with no published dispatch point, with extra planning for campus approvals and narrow village streets, and the total moves with unit size, rental length, distance, utilities and setup. We add no Hanover-only fees here. Send the address, headcount, dates and hookups for a written quote. Compare the monthly rate if a job may run past two weeks.
