Weird pipe thing coming out of the ground
I've driven past this many times and I've no idea what it is or what it's for. There are these two big pipe things coming out of the ground, each capped off. Several inches in diameter. There's several feet of a gap between them. I assume you could remove the caps on then and place another pipe piece between them, but I've no idea what that would accomplish or why you'd do that. I don't recall ever seeing something like this elsewhere.
If it helps, it's right next to an intersection. It is also in front of a tire shop. This is in Utah, United States.
Thanks in advance!
