The Canadian TSB reported maintenance found the outflow valve covered with ice which prevented the operation of the valve. The ice came from a leaking water coupler from the potable water system, the leaking water running down into the valve and freezing in flight. According to a Boeing service bulletin the water tank has to be drained to prevent pipes freezing up if the aircraft is parked in extremely low temperatures. Due to the expansion of ice it will damage water couplers.
