What is this pipe on our pool deck?

It's either going to be gas or water.
Are you certain about the size, 0.37 inches, that would make it one eighth inch internal bore

Thank you for mentioning this! The pipe OD is 7/8 inch not 3/8 inch. Does that change its chances of being gas vs. water?

No if it was gas it would it would be black schedule 80 pipe. That is galvanized pipe. It’s a abandoned water pipe.

Thank you everyone for your responses. Much appreciated! May consider the bidet option...

Almost 2 years later, I have the answer -- it's a gas pipe.
Being galvanized and many decades old, its long underground run started leaking. The Gas Company rep had a meter, which led him along our pool deck (with drains) in the direction of this pipe stub.
So, I guess the idea was to provide for a BBQ, which nobody ever installed.
I found the run originating under the house, heading in that direction, and had it cut and capped there.
Thanks everybody for your comments here.
