If you sat at a table, and wanted water for each person, you would ask for “waters”. The container is implied.

Nah, the orders themselves are numerable. “How many orders of water do you want?” That you colloquially shorten it to “waters” is irrelevant. Even if you needed to order by volume, you would ask for UNITs (liter, gallon, barrel, etc.) of water.
