Open 10" sewer pipe installed in basement wall

Close! After making some phone calls it was determined that this pipe was installed between this house and the Church next door because the Church’s water pipes freeze when the temperature drops below zero F. (it does that here in ND) and they would run a garden house thru this pipe and (because) it was installed below grade and open at both ends the water would not freeze. Of course you are probably thinking “there had to be a better!” I’m just going to file it under the one-size-fits-all category of, “it seemed like a good idea at the time”.

You should post this “info” here, with photo.
