New power outlet question
I'd like to install a new power outlet to use primarily for my toaster oven. The only circuit that I can tie in to is the circuit that the water heater plugs in to. Are other outlets typically tied ...

I've always tied into the Microwave circuit for extra kitchen appliances like toaster and coffee maker. Since the MW dual outlet usually has the 2nd plug-in holes sealed over, I just drill out the plastic where the plug holes should be then plug in a power strip and run the cord down to under the upper cabinets so then I have several outlets to use. If too many appliances are plugged in so they trip the breaker, then just unplug one or two.
Long ago when I wired the houses I built, seems to me you could put 8 or 10 outlets on a 15 amp circuit with 14-2 wire. So I have added up to 3 new outlets on a cicuit that has just one, usually able to run wires under the dinette seats or inside cabinets.
