In A coffer dam is designed for a 25 year flood and constructed If it takes 5 years to complete the construction of the main dam, what is the risk that the coffer dam may fail before the end of the construction period? What return period in the design of coffer dam would have reduced the risk to 10%?

The X-Y Power Co. built a power dam. The company agreed to limit the level of the impounded water to elevation + 520 feet. During an unusual spring thaw and rain, the spillway jammed with ice, and the water rose to elevation + 529 feet, flooding several houses. The owners of these houses sued the company for damages caused by this flooding. What do you think of their rights in this situation? And explain in contracting point of view.
