Vacant house, should I shut water off?

Deceased Step dads house. We live in New England. The house is empty now andI stopped by last night and the furnace was not working. I relit the pilotlight and got it working again but we are concerned that it may go out againand we cannot get to the house every day to check. Temps were down to 18degrees last night. I'm thinking of shutting the water off and leaving thefaucets open to avoid any pipes freezing and bursting. Would there be anydownside to shutting the main water off?Heat is forced hot air.ThanksSteve
