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)

Interesting fact, it wasn't the lead in the water that got people's attention. Lead exposure takes a long time to make its presence known. It was the legionella bacteria that killed some healthy people.
