 LINGUIST List 5.1377: Use of bubbler as a synonym for drinking fountain
I had people from this region respond with amusement because they didn't know the word was used anywhere outside of their area.
Lastly, and much to my surprise, bubbler is used in southeastern Australia- predominately in New South Wales (including Sydney and Canberra) and in portions of the provinces bordering New South Wales.
For what its worth, the only accounts I had of the term 'water bubbler' were among African Americans from Milwaukee (but this only included three people.) Just plain 'fountain' seemed to be the word of choice in northwestern Wisconsin, while drinking fountain and water fountain were used pretty interchangeably everywhere else.
