Have them winterized. Above 68 degrees should be good.

It depends on where your water lines run into the house and how well insulated your house is in general. While you're still living there test different temperatures by setting up a cheap thermometer in your basement and see how much colder it is down there. Obviously you want it to be above freezing but like i said, it's a personal judgement call that you'll have to make based on your house's level of insulation.

Turn the water off to the house and drain the pipes, this should prevent freezing.
