Kaukauna Utilities' Kaukauna City Hydro Plant stands on Thilmany Road along the Fox River in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. The municipal generating station is part of the city's public utility system and uses the river's flow to produce hydroelectric power for local distribution. Warning signage at the fenced riverfront site notes rapidly changing water levels, a standard operational hazard at hydroelectric facilities where water flow is controlled for generation.
