It seems to me that an optical solution would be better.

A clear window with a IR LED and IR sensor against the back side of the
window. When water is splashed on the window the IR would reflect onto
the sensor.

It's possible to do that. But IR would measure more than just water,
like bird poops?

I was thinking about the same 555 with internal IR isolations.


Some experimenting would be necessary, but this would isolate each sensor.

Good luck.
