Excessive drinking could be a sign of infection, such as a uterine infection since she is intact, also could be a sign of diabetes, there are a number of conditions that induce thirst. I strongly recommend getting her in to see the vet as soon as possible for an exam. If it is a uterine infection and she is in otherwise good health, getting her spayed at this age shouldn't be a problem.
