Depends. Are you on city water or do you have a well? If you have a well, you will want to anytime it drops below freezing to prevent the water pump from freezing as these pipes are exposed to the cold. If you get your water from the city then you only need to do this if the pipes are exposed outside or if you pipes are not buried below the frost line of your area.
