A bullhorn cleanout is a plumbing feature used to provide access to a sewer or drain line for cleaning and maintenance purposes. It is a type of cleanout fitting that consists of a Y-shaped pipe with a long arm and a short arm. The long arm of the bullhorn is usually buried underground and provides access to the main sewer line, while the short arm sticks out of the ground and provides access to the cleanout.

Bullhorn cleanouts are typically installed at regular intervals along the sewer line, allowing plumbers to easily access the sewer line for cleaning and maintenance. They are also useful for locating blockages and other problems in the sewer line, as well as for making repairs or installing new pipes.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common type of plastic that can be used for sewer pipes. It has several benefits, such as:

Durability: ABS is a tough plastic that can withstand harsh conditions, such as changes in temperature and pressure.

Lightweight: ABS pipes are lighter than other materials, which makes them easier to transport and install.

Cost-effective: ABS pipes are less expensive than some other materials, making them a cost-effective choice for sewer pipe installations.

However, ABS pipes are not suitable for all sewer systems, and their long-term performance may depend on factors such as the quality of the installation and the specific conditions of the sewer system. Before choosing ABS pipes, it's important to consider factors such as the soil conditions, the size and layout of the sewer system, and the required performance specifications.

In Mesa, the wastewater treatment process typically involves several stages, including screening and grit removal, biological treatment, and chemical treatment. The goal of the treatment process is to remove impurities and pollutants from the wastewater so that it is safe to discharge into the environment.

To learn more about the specific wastewater treatment process and discharge locations in Mesa, Arizona, it would be best to contact the city's utility or public works department.
