Yes, shut off water to entire residence if residence totally dependent on electric, including heat. If residence heated by hot water or steam heating system, water needs to be ON to boiler for heating system. Anything else that has water going to it can be turned off if it has a separate valve for it. Electric water heater should have power turned off and gas water heater should have gas turned off. Outside hydrant hoses should be disconnected.

There are several things that could cause this. You should examine your bill closely, as in "look at the details, not just the amount at the bottom." You could be using more water in the winter... why this would be true, I don't know, since I don't know your habits. Maybe you shower more, or longer, in the winter. Maybe you let the water run longer to warm up in the winter. Alternatively, the rate may have gone up, and it may be unrelated to winter.
