Yes and no. They really  wanted to remove the stench because it was disgusting and because disease was at that time linked to 'bad air" . So Joseph Bazalgette  build these splendid sewers, which remain is use. Got rid of the stench and disease caused by contaminated water. Of course the sewer didn't go to treatment plants or even out to sea. It just went further down the Thames, where the magic of that tidal river flushed it all out to sea.

I see.  I had read that the banks of the Thames was deep with human filth for a time.  I also read that the only reason Parliament did anything about it was because they were located right beside it.  It is amazing that the same sewers are still in use after all this time.

Victorian engineering at its best was very good indeed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
