I know it’s some sort of gas bottle, but I’m hoping someone can be more specific based on the brass tap on top.

How close is it to the house? Do you have a gas line in your neighborhood? Could be a natural gas tank for a stove or water heater. I think in some places, trucks go around and fill them. I believe they also have overflow tanks scattered around for underground lines.
