From what I remember reading in the Water Utilities press during the summer the majority of the water utilities were either compliant or would be by the end of October this year.
Anyway the biggest concern is the phone network as they don't have control over it. Many of the newer sewage plants using Active Sludge and the like as well as the incinerators need to be in contact with central services in case of major failures in the system, to get technical assistance.
I worked around one of the biggest Sewage Treatment works in Europe and I think there is enough manual control to stop backflow. We had more problems during the floods in August killing pump houses. Ah well like many people my Dad is on call for the incinerator over the date change, just to be safe.
