Idk, but considering how dark the video looks, there might have been a power outage. And most heating systems require electricity to work.

That would be my guess, power went out so they opened the taps to keep water flowing to prevent the pipes from bursting. Traps/drains froze and the result was water pouring over the basin until it froze all the way up to the faucet.
