Drainage in Market Harborough
Market Harborough is a compact Leicestershire market town with a history stretching back to the 12th century. Its well-preserved town centre and surrounding residential streets carry drainage infrastructure that reflects the town's gradual growth over centuries — from Georgian-era connections through to Victorian clay pipe sewers and, more recently, modern plastic pipe systems in the newer estates off Coventry Road and the Airfield development.
The town centre's Victorian drainage was designed for a much smaller population than Market Harborough now serves. As newer housing estates connect into the original sewer network, pinch points develop — areas where the original undersized pipe now carries significantly more load than intended. Blockages in these transition zones are common and often require a CCTV survey to locate accurately.

- Victorian clay pipe sewers in Market Harborough's historic core were built for a smaller population. As the town has grown and new estates connected into the old network, these original pipes now carry more load than they were designed for, making blockages more frequent.
