Our rescue cat (age 10) is obsessed with water too. He much prefers moving water to what's in his bowl. In speaking with the vet and others, I don't think this behavior is all that unusual. Our cat likes a bowl filled with water from the faucet (while he watches you fill). He then scoops the water with his paw and licks the water off his paw. Or course, you had better have a towel under the bowl since the counter can get pretty wet. CJ (cat's name) goes insane when he sees water. We have had him checked for diabetes. Negative. He has had extensive dental work but we don't think there's any correlation. He has a "pet fountain" water bowl down at all times. We know CJ needs water and are willing to get it to him whatever it takes.
