This is outside my apartment building, next to the car park. Is it a connector for a hose of some kind?

    Hmm, I don’t think so. My understanding is that these spigots are generally plain ol’ tap water for scenarios where you need an outdoor tap, like construction, maintenance, etc. Might vary by locality, but I’ve heard of backpackers/campers/nomads/etc. using these in many places without issue. Never actually done it myself.

    Sprinkler systems are typically closed and pressurized, so I don’t think they’d have an outlet as simple as this.

      Never heard of a place that these weren’t just water access for stuff like grounds crew or maintenance to have access to water conveniently without the public being able to easily mess with them
