When I got up this am at 3am,when I turned on cold faucet in kitchen, brown water came out for a few seconds, then regular water. When I got up at 7am and attempted to turn on water in kitchen, there was no water. Same for bathroom sink and tub.
There is no sign of burst pipe anywhere in house and no sign of any water outside of house, and no sign of water under house looking down from opening to under house in bathroom.
The utility company's meter in the street is not running. While checking street meter, I noticed red needle is below zero mark. There is a transformer box where water meter is located.I am wondering if problem may be electrical, because of red needle being at below zero mark.
I have run space heaters opposite all plumbing pipes, under kitchen sink and under bathroom sink.
I have opened all faucets, and have a very slow drip coming from bathroom tub faucet.
I reported situation to water company at 8 am this morning, but they are way behind, just getting to Sat and Sunday calls, and probably will not get here today as it's past 3 pm.
Neighbors on both sides of my house and across the street, all have water.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

PS I live in Santa Fe NM and it was below freezing last nite, about 17 degrees I think.Has warmed up to close to 50 degrees today, but will go down to teens again tonight.
