They want people to not be there, at least for long.

Isn't that like the opposite of the purpose of big events like these?

It doesn't look like the rule is from the event organizers. Most likely local government who want's the money from the event while keeping the turnover high so that people will come, spend their money, and fuck off as soon as possible.

I think it's more likely that the festival has other stalls selling water for a ridiculous markup.
