I use both "water fountain" and "drinking fountain", but I think I use the first one first/more. These days I rarely use the item being referred to though.

I marked the "US: Middle Atlantic" option, but given that a lot of my reading material was/is non-US (even as a child) and I had various foreign teachers (dual-language education from preschool on) my geographic location had serious competition in forming my vocabulary.
