So I just won a bid on a single family house that the bank thought was still occupied (witch means they did not winterize it). I talked to the neighbor and found out that they moved 2 weeks ago. The problem is that the water is still on and the gas and electric were shut off. I am afraid the pipes will bust by the time i close on the property (20 days away). Called the village and they said the water is scheduled to be shut off in 4 days. They would not move that date up since i was not the owner yet.  The temperate for those 4 days will be a high of 32 and a low of 16-20 deg. What are my options??
