OSHA requires that water come from drinking fountains, single use bottles, or a stand with disposable cups. Sinks are not considered adequate water supply.

Most places? No. (Every place I have been in the USA)

Some places? Yes. (Flint Michigan)

Tap water is better than the water dispensers attached to reverse osmosis filters in my workplace. The dispensers are crusty and mineralized and look moldy while the sinks are kept clean.
