Most of the water on Uranus is part of the original makeup of the planet from when it first formed.

The trace amounts of water vapor in the highest layer of the atmosphere are believed to come from outside sources, such as comets and in-falling dust.

The vast body of liquid on Uranus accounts for most of the planet’s volume. This compressed, slushy liquid is sometimes described as an ocean or as ice. Scientists think this ocean consists mostly of water molecules, which are mixed with silicate, magnesium, nitrogen-bearing molecules such as ammonia, and hydrocarbons (molecules composed of carbon and hydrogen) such as methane. Uranus’s ocean is extremely hot (about 6650°C/about 12,000°F). Water at the surface of Earth evaporates, or boils, at 100°C (212°F). The ocean on Uranus remains liquid at such a high temperature, however, because the pressure deep in Uranus is about five million times stronger than the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Higher pressure holds molecules in liquids close together and prevents them from spreading out to form vapor. see: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/RefArtTextonly.aspx?refid=761551985&print=15 for further information.
