The marina maintenance man has his hands full today.
He has at "least" 8 broken pipes from the freeze.
Most of these are under the floating docks and someone
must be in the water to do the repair.
His boss decided it was better to turn the water off
then let it run.
Better than the last hard freeze when they had over forty
broken pipes.
I thought I was smart, I had 6 water outlets that I let run
during the night, one of them still froze, when I checked it the next
morning it had no flow. I found that pipe, (PVC) had broke at an elbow,
I fixed that, then after things thawed, my wife report there was water
running in the porch, our ice machine has an internal leak. I have not
yet checked to see what cracked in that.
It's always something.

Some friends were in a motorhome at a campground in Savannah for the past couple days. Their water
pump froze up, along with all the water at the campground = the pipes were above ground.
