There are plenty of ways to accomplish this. You need a
compression ball valve to install on the end of the pipe. If you
are subject to freeze/thaw, you will need to make this connection
below the frost line or protect the line in a well house or
appropriate enclosure.

These are available in PVC, but the very best in the business are
brass Ford couplings/connections/valves- these are the ones your
city probably uses:

Hello all,

I have an artesian well that has been disconnected from my house
and
is now only a 1 5/8" inch PVC pipe sticking out of the ground in
my
front yard.

It flows at about 5 gallons per/minute.

I currently have a plastic cap on it with a hose clamp to stop
it from
running.

I'd like to put a hose bib on it so that I can use the water in
various uses when I want to.

How in the world can I work with this? How can I glue anything
to this
pipe while it's running?

Is there some method that would allow me to cap this thing
properly
where I could then add on to this system? Getting a valve into
the
line is my problem.

How can I put a valve into this line?
