In Australia (at least where I grew up), we call "water fountains" bubblers.

I can't speak for the rest of Australia though, since in Newcastle we use the phrase "ripping off" which means "making fun of" in addition to "charging too much".

In cities as close as Sydney, the phrase is "ripping into", whereas the Novacastrian[1] version makes no sense to them.
