water heater question

Hope this isnt too stupid a question, but why does the water heater have a power connection on the backside that connects to its own breaker in the breaker box located above it?

Sounds like you've got an electrically heated water heater. No doubt it also has a propane burner. Check for a method of switching between the two.
