@wildbill83 water valve and AND septic access?

@NoGamesTolerated could be either, not both.
In cases where there isn't room for gravity septic system (fill lines below septic tank), the septic system must be regularly pumped, so it's just an access for septic pump truck
or
If you're supplying water to multiple points, especially water spigots that are susceptible to freezing, it's common to bury a ball/shut off valve to prevent freezing in winter; also pretty common for temporary residence water access (campers, rvs, etc.)
or
downspout/drain cleanout; runs down to a Y junction on drain pipe to allow it to be snaked/cleaned out if it gets clogged. Handy for long drain pipes where trash gets into drain (mud, leaves, etc.) or the exit of drain gets obstructed (as is the case with many people's gutter downspout pipes/drains)
