To find out how much water Sarah will drink after the third week of increase, we first need to calculate the increase in water each week.
5% of 224 ounces is (5/100) * 224 = 11.2 ounces.
For the first week, the increase in water = 11.2 ounces.
For the second week, the increase in water = 11.2 * 2 = 22.4 ounces.
For the third week, the increase in water = 11.2 * 3 = 33.6 ounces.
So, after the third week of increase, Sarah will be drinking 224 + 33.6 = <<224+33.6=257.6>>257.6 ounces of water.
Rounded to the nearest ounce, Sarah will drink 258 ounces of water after the third week of increase. Answer: \boxed{258}.
