Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for automatically shutting off fluid flow through a fluid inlet line of a water heater upon detection of a leak of the water heater. The system may include an electrically powered shutoff assembly operatively coupled to the fluid inlet line, and a capacitor operatively coupled to the electrically powered shutoff assembly. The electrically powered shutoff assembly may be configured to shut off fluid flow through the fluid inlet line upon detection of a leak of the water heater, and the capacitor may be configured to store power received from an external power source. Accordingly, when the electrically powered shutoff assembly does not have access to electric power, the capacitor may power the electrically powered shutoff assembly to shut off fluid flow through the fluid inlet line.
