16. So, it is a community well, not a private one?

Some possibilities …

You may have a pressure problem, do you have a pressure regulator?

As you get a small amount of water before it quits, that seems somewhat likely.

Do you have a water outlet outside that is not frozen and is on the same line? That would prove that you are getting water from the source and the trouble could be closer in … do you have a basement and are your water lines accessible in that space, or is it a crawl space or slab foundation?

If you can heat the basement, it may thaw your pipe that is frozen.
