Shipping water to space or the Moon goes against the very core of this idea. There is water on the Moon, check out the Lunar Prospector mission for more information. That water is extremely useful, even for an entirely robotic solution because it is rocket fuel. The low gravity makes it an incredible asset. If we can get to it, the cheapest access to water and fuel in low earth orbit will come from the Moon. Sending water & fuel to the ISS from the Moon is cheaper than sending it from Earth if you take a long enough view.
