The house where my daughter lives has a ( redundant ) outside loo.
It IS used very occasionally though just for convenience but it's not
essential.

There was a burst in there the other day due to freezing but luckily it has
a stop tap where the supply rises from the floor and the supply was turned
off.

The same supply supplies a garden tap for watering plants.

I placed a paraffin storm lamp near where the supply enters the loo and
below the level of the stop tap to help prevent freezing in future.
If there was a burst there below the stop tap that would be very difficult.

I went down there today and the paraffin had run out in the storm lamp after
2 days.

Now I've tried to impress on her how important it is not to have a burst
below the stop tap but she is young and, probably, negligent in this
respect.

Paraffin is not easy to find these days either, and if it was, would she top
the storm lamp up when required.

I've thought that I should just remove the supply from the outside loo but
it does have its uses for watering the garden in the summer months.

Any suggestions.

BTW we do own the house.
