The charge is almost entirely to pay for someone's time to go and get a glass. fill it, carry it, collect it back later, take it to the kitchen, wash it, put it back on the shelf. To insure the waiter and pay part of the rent and local taxes. And to replace it if somebody steals the glass. The water itself is probably free.
