Rarely. Outdoor backflow assemblies, pool equipment and exposed lines are the usual casualties on the few nights that drop below freezing.
Is Louisiana water hard?
Generally moderate, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.
