Explanation:

In the extreme winters , the water inside pipes freeze, on freezing it's(water molecule)  density decreases and volume increases and therefore, the ice then expands and pushes the water towards the faucet, causing high pressure buildup in the pipe and after a limit the pipe burst. This is what happened to the family in Ottawa, where winters are chilly.
