KAUKAUNA — Construction on Kaukauna Utilities reverse osmosis project continues on schedule, the utility announced Wednesday.
The new facility is under construction next to the Kaukauna Aquatic Center at 807 Boyd Ave.
Current photos show much of the foundation work has been completed.
According to the utility, the project will significantly reduce water hardness, and because of that, Kaukauna Utilities will develop a water softener optimization or removal program in 2026, with implementation beginning in 2027.
This program will help customers decide whether to adjust or remove their home softeners, depending on individual preferences.
This new facility under construction will replace the existing ground storage reservoirs and main filter plant, which date back to the early 1900s.
The facility should be up and running by the summer of 2028 and will allow Kaukauna Utilities to continue operations without depending on aging infrastructure during the remainder of the project.
