To calculate the amount of water Sarah will drink after each week, you need to multiply her current amount of water by 1 + the increase percentage: 224 ounces * 1.05 = <<224*1.05=235.2>>235.2 ounces.
After the first week, Sarah will drink 235 ounces.
After the second week, she will drink 235 * 1.05 = <<235*1.05=246.75>>246.75 ounces.
After the third week, Sarah will drink 246.75 * 1.05 = <<246.75*1.05=259.0875>>259.0875 ounces.
After rounding, Sarah will drink 259 ounces of water after the third week. Answer: \boxed{259}.
