Bob, If there is water in the pump housing, it will freeze expand and ruin the pump. (assumes it is a shallow well pump, or a jet pump with the pump housing at ground level not a submersible) The earliest possible resolution of the situation is best. Make sure the electricity is supplied to the pumphouse. Make sure (if belt driven), that it is not a broken or smoked belt. Use plywood or sheet insulation to make a "dog house" around the pump and pipes. Put a 250 watt infrared heat bulb in the enclosure aiming at the housing. Best of luck getting thins going. Do not shut off valves on lines or faucets. Freezing happens in a pipe then that freezing pressurizes the remaining (liquid) until it splits lines where there is no ice.
