To save mass (and thus cost) they'll probably dehydrate the water before shipping it back to Earth. Their target market won't care.
Or they could sell it in different concentrations. You can get 1% moonwater for $1000/bottle, or 99% moonwater for $100K/bottle.

OR: It could be collected, shipped back to earth, bottled, and sold to the wealthy at ludicrous prices.

I think the wealthy would rather take a vacation to the moon.
I am technically considered wealthy (3% or higher). But definitely clip coupons and save money where I can.

Forget about Lunar Water man, that's so 2002. Let's distill moon stuff and make MOON BEER and MOON VODKA. Oh yeah, >

Good. We need strong customs enforcement there too.

Your own Personal Moon Sand is incredibly precious... and incredibly attractive to thieves. Let us store it for you. And what safer place to store it than the Moon? And why go there when it would only facilitate theft of your own Personal Moon Sand? Taking orders now.
