FWIW exactly that happened to us a few years ago flying on UA out of PVR, after buying a couple of bottles less than 30 feet from the gate.
We boarded feeling very annoyed but it helped Mrs. Fredd's need for hydration with her medication when a sympathetic FA immediately provided us with a liter bottle.
Of course it was also PVR where the clean-shaven security folks confiscated my Gillette Sensor Excel blades on another flight.
