Three hours ago, I received an alert that there was water in the charging port, so I left it to dry. I saw that some people recommended turning it off, so I did, but I plugged it back in straight away to see if anything would show up even when it was off. Instead, it just turned back on, is charging, and is no longer notifying me of any water in the port. Is it safe to charge it, or should I still wait?

You’re essentially asking whether it’s safe to charge after charging has already begun. That’s like asking, “May I come in?” once you’re already sitting on the sofa 😄
Yes, it’s safe to continue charging as long as you don’t see any warning or alert. Just make sure you’re using an Apple-supplied cable or a certified MFi cable—because charging is fine, but charging with sketchy cables is how horror stories are born.
Search for accessories that have completed MFi certification. Once an accessory has completed MFi certification requirements and is reported to Apple as sold/distributed, it will be searchable in our public database of authorized Lightning, headset, charging, iAP-enabled, and Find My network-enabled accessories.
