Victorian infrastructure and London's sewer capacity

Does Britain still rely too heavily on infrastructure inherited from the Victorians?

The criticism concerns delayed investment as population growth outstrips the capacity of inherited infrastructure.

Continued reliance on Victorian infrastructure can leave later population growth without adequate capacity. Clarke recalls an objection to naming London's new sewer project after Bazalgette over concern for the engineer's historical reputation. To him, Bazalgette would have been horrified that expansion had taken so long after the population grew beyond the scale of the original system. The criticism concerns delayed investment in capacity.
