Deep enough to stay under the frost, and local requirements reflect how far it drives in a hard winter. Older services were sometimes set shallower than current practice. If a line has frozen once, depth is the first thing worth confirming.

Not necessarily. Ice expands where it forms and can stretch or crack a fitting that only leaks once pressure returns. Watch the area closely after it thaws, especially at joints.

It's the tall frost-proof spigot common on acreages near Colman and Colton, with the shutoff buried below frost and a drain that empties the standpipe after use. If the drain plugs, water stands in the pipe and freezes. That's most of the failures.

Moving water is harder to freeze, so a slow drip on a vulnerable line is a reasonable stopgap during extreme cold. It's a stopgap, not a fix. A pipe that needs a dripping tap every winter has a real problem behind it.
