Weather peril exposure
QUAIL CREEK HYDRO PLANT #1 is a 2 MW hydro power plant in Washington County, UT, operated by WASHINGTON CNTY WTR CONSV DIST, commissioned in 1985. Washington County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.0 of 5 at the 25th national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 100th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a hydro plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
