A temporary cheap measure is to let a little quantity of water flowing trought the pipe: if for example is in your garden, let drip out some water from the tap particularly overnight. In a city fill some tank of water slowly overnight in the cold, far zones.If you keep water flowing the quantity of cold required for freezing is much increased due to increase of quantity of water to be cooled to freezing point. To avoid waste, you can reuse water in day time. Pipes normally have inside only a small quantity of water, moreover overnight the quantity is near zero so it can freeze also because temperature is very low.

Bury the lines deeper.
When your planners and contractors put in the pipes, they did not bury them deep enough to be below the frost line.
