That can probably be solved with some insulation and a variety of optional ways to add heat sources.

  It really wouldn’t. Unless by insulation and heat sources you mean… by putting the pipes inside the house. Otherwise you’re just building a house around your outside pipes. No amount of insulation is going to help your pipes outside overnight under a certain temperature. The water isn’t moving because you aren’t using any of it. We had some pipes inside under the floor of an old addition of an older farmhouse which regularly froze despite being inside, our wellhouse had hundreds of watts of heating. There’s no chance of pipes exposed outside in a northern US climate not freezing.

    Insulating and heating outside pipes is a solved problem and adding a small layer of insulation around a pipe with electrical heating elements is much cheaper and energy efficient than insulating+heating an entire house. Short term anyhow. Keyword is "self-regulating pipe heating cable". I don't know why you're making it out like it's rocket science and with such confidence.
