the hours sound good leaving you plenty of time for funner things, would that/if only i could have gotten a job like that when i was young, my life woulda gone in a totally different direction. hope you get what you want.

Hmmm - I'm neither poor nor wealthy, I live in urban apartment complex, colder climate than Colorado and I never heard about leaving sinks dripping because of the winter.
The only thing I know of is that summer cottage owners need to cut their cottages offline and remove water from their pipes if they plan not to use the cottage in the winter.
I believe our public infrastructure is buried in the ground deep enough and insulated well enough to function normally with standard use during winters.

Romania is warmer than Poland.
But I stand corrected - based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado#Climate winters in Poland are comparable to winters in Colorado, though more varying (generally weather here varies greatly all the time, depending on winds).
It seems deep-freezing temperatures are common where OP lives. I stand corrected. Previously, I didn't take elevation into account.

I used to live in upstate New York. It was standard practice to leave faucets dripping when temperatures plunged. 30 degrees below zero F was not uncommon. But even higher temperatures, teens and aughts, leave the water running.

Otherwise it is burst pipes and no water until it can be fixed.

You don’t hear about pipes bursting in NYC. But this could obviously happen.

In winter, it’s rather rare for temperatures to be below freezing all day for three full days.

Why not leave faucets dripping, just to be on the safe side.

That must be something American, I never heard of it before.

We hear of this in Minnesota where temps can be below 0F for days at a time. This usually happens in places such as trailer parks where the pipes are exposed to the elements or if the frost line gets down about 7 - 8 feet (which has happened in the past 20 years) where the pipes are. I have never had an issue myself.

We currently live in a motorhome and are setting alarms to wake up and run some warm water through the pipes every few hours. We almost had them freeze this morning when the temperatures dipped low.

We have left our faucets dripping in our other homes (I wouldn't really consider us "poor" either) during very cold weather as well. If there are pipes exposed to the outside (or drafty spaces like crawlspaces, attics, or even basements) during cold weather, freezing temperatures can absolutely freeze or burst pipes. It doesn't matter what's in your bank account.

I'm so poor I live in a place where a washbowl sink is the only fixture. The place is over 100 years old so it's steam radiator heated from a boiler. This time around so far the boiler has been broken. When it gets too cold I plug in my electric skillet. The place is so small, that actually heats it up enough. At least enough for me since I prefer it to be about 65F. I never heard of keeping the facet dripping. But it hardly gets below freezing anyplace I've ever lived. Snow has always been a novelty.
