It depends far more on freeze exposure than on age alone, and a tap that gets drained every autumn can run for decades. One that has frozen a few times will start weeping at the packing nut or at the stem. Around Zelienople and here that failure tends to surface once the taps get used again in spring.

The outdoor tap itself works the same way, but on a well the pressure tank and the pump control sit in the loop, so a frozen outdoor branch can cause the pump to short cycle. That is hard on the pump. Isolating outdoor lines before the cold sets in avoids the whole chain.

A short burst of rust-coloured water from a tap that has sat unused usually comes from corrosion inside an old galvanized branch. It clears quickly if it's just sediment. If it keeps running discoloured, the pipe feeding that tap is worth inspecting.
