Even if there was a switch at your water heater, the light at your switch in the kitchen should come on. Without the light coming on, either there is no power at the switch or the switch is bad. Get yourself a tic tracer / inductive voltage tester. This will help you figure out where the 120v stops. Typically you will have two thermostats in the water heater area. One is for the propane and the other is for 120 volt electric. With the tester you can see if you've got 120 volts flowing through the thermostat. Next is the heating element, if the Tracer says you've got 120 volts there and you are still not getting hot water replace the element. While you are doing that, be sure to replace the anode and flush the tank.
