The freezing point of water is dependent on solutes.

Nearly pure water is found in lakes and streams on Earth because of distillation in the rain cycle. It is unlikely to be found on a planet without rain. Instead, what is likely to be found is water saturated with soluble salts which may have a freezing point far below zero C depending upon the solutes.
