I've worked places where the water fountains are taped off with notes saying the water isn't potable, and to get bottled water from the fridge. Another scenario is walking around town in the summer. Sometimes a park with a working fountain is nearby, but if not then bottled water from a shop is the low-effort option (you could also ask for a cup of water from a restaurant, always free in America although not necessarily in other parts of the world, but that requires a more awkward social interaction..) If a working clean water fountain is available I'm happy to drink from it, but often that isn't the case.
