It's not a bad idea to turn off the water heater especially if it is electric. It will consume power the whole time you are gone to keep the water hot and wastes a lot of electricity.

Need to replace hot water lines. Do you need to turn off the hot water heater if you shut off the main water line?
Yes. I would. If you are replacing the hot water lines, it is also a good time to drain the hot water heater and get rid of all the junk at the bottom of the hot water heater. That should be done once a year. Your hot water heater must be off when you do that, your hot water heater should be off when you drain your hot water heater. You will see boiler scale come out of your water heater. Leaving the boiler scale in your water heater makes it less efficient. It makes it harder to heat your water. It is the same as throwing money down the drain. If you want to give your money away, you should give it to the Salvation Army instead of the Utility Company.
