A good question that I don’t know the answer to. But I did quickly google LA water treatment and it appears starting in 1925 they had contamination issues in the Santa Monica Bay and that drove their sewage treatment even with a 5 mile outflow pipe.
So it appears that a city like LA can’t dump into the ocean without damaging it.

I suspect if you look at the history of other cities you would find poor outflow being a leading early reason for stopping the dumping of sewage and not moral issues like it’s wrong.
