I’ve definitely found free water fountains at CDG.
Now, one of the Bucharest airports literally does not have potable tap water. Their well, being under an airport and all, is contaminated. By email, they did inform me that the water is microbiologically fine. Unsure of their pipe to the municipal system was been built out.
Probably a issue with PFAS contamination. Stuff was used in firefighting water, and has contaminated just about every airport and the surrounding area's groundwater, all over the world. So while microbiologically safe, it has PFAS issues.
Either that or hydrocarbons from leaks over several decades or deicing fluid easily infiltrating their wells, or all!
Or they don’t test it and therefore can’t certify it but I did take a swig and immediately spat it out.
