Why don't you make the box larger? That looks more reasonable to me. (IMHO)

The periodic waters are the same waters that are on the other side of 
the box (which is the definition of PBC). The visualization program VMD 
can display periodic images, and can also save their coordinates. There 
are some other ways, but this is the easiest.
