I was turning off my water when I'd leave but I got to worrying about the after-market electric hot water heater I installed in my Attwood gas hot water heater so now I don't. Under normal conditions, do I need to worry about the heater element burning out if the water's turned off for maybe 8 hours.
The water heater will still be full of water if you turn off the water pump or the city water off. You would have to have a water pipe break very close to the water heater to have it lose the water inside.
