Possessive of the water bowl -- that is as unusual as Max's possessiveness over the piddle pads.
Does this happen when you put out 3 water bowls, maybe in different places? That is how we cured Max and his piddle pad ownership. I like Deanna's water bottle suggestion too. Maybe with multiple sources, your little guy won't be able to protect them all.
You could also train him to sit while the others drink, then reward him for sitting. Then ideally, he would eventually let go of his possessiveness.
