Grumpy, are you staying warm?

How deep are the waterlines that come to the house down there?
One time when I was working out of Mandeville Louisiana one of the guys at the project office said their water line was barely below the surface and had froze a couple times in the past.

That sounds about right. Mine is about 8" under the level of the lawn. In the photos below you can see where the dry-well is in the front lawn by the green arrow, and in the second photo the green arrow points to the valve and the yellow arrow points to the meter. So when I shut this off, the undrained water is from that level all the way up to the lowest hose bib outside.
