Well it can't get in there unless your tyre went flat and the seal was broken and it rained (unlikely).
Far more likely is that when your tyres were fitted, that one had water in the tyre (leaking roof at the tyre fitters?) or some was introduced during the fitting stage....

There is a bod near me that dunks wheels in a barrel of water to test for punctures and he also uses tons of soap getting the tyres on - maybe something like this is the cause?
It's an odd one I give you that!.....your not trying the offroading trick of filling tyres with water to get better traction in a muddy field are you

from the compressor
Imagine if you take air on an average rainy day in august 2008 70% humidity or more and compress it 7 times into your compressor. The waters got to go somewhere... It's a huge problem in my industry - electronics - we have to use industrial dryers to dry the compressed air before using it. It's also a problem in paint shops where the water can destroy a nice paint shop.
Most places would use a simple water trap but I imagine in the tyre shop no-one is going to be bothered emptying it so it wound up in your tyres.

Are you sure it's water? Might be little rubber balls from tire rolling around. I've heard these in tires before.
In fact, I've used small round plastic balls (Airsoft pellets) to balance tires and it sounds like water. Works a treat.
