The hot water heater is fused for (I don't know) but it's way more than the 15 AMPS that regular plugs are fused for. DO NOT tap into the hot water heater line.
You could wind up melting or starting a fire from whatever is plugged into that line because it's designed for a 15 AMP circuit.
Find an outlet circuit that you will not be using for anything else and extend that circuit.
