hydration station

Public drinking fountain

A hydration station is a place to get water or other beverages, especially at events, gyms, or outdoor venues: They set up hydration stations along the marathon route.

The term sounds more official than "water fountain" and often implies free access.

In casual use, it can refer humorously to any source of drinks: The kitchen is my hydration station.
