What it's all about

Best to just keep it at minimal temp.

Get a plumber, and have him run the water suppy up from where it comes in,
into a closet or under the sink, or what have you. The part of the pipe,
from where it come in up to the valve, could have heat wrap put on it.

By doing this, the pipes in the house might still freeze, but would not run
all over ruining things.

This somewhat easy fix could have saved you at least half a grand.
