I have a question about a workplace distributing drinking water

We have 50-60 outside techs at our yard. By law and we are required to carry ” adequate amounts” of potable water on our trucks at all times. A liter an hour is recommended on the OSHA site. The company is providing us with a dirty ice machine and a disgusting hose. I pulled the filter off the other day and it looked like coffee inside. I got the union involved and we think the resolution will be a new ice machine and we can fill our 3-5 gallon Igloos at the drinking fountains in the office. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a law that requires a specific amount of spigots for our amount of people? It doesn't seem fair that I need to hold a 30-50# container for minutes at a time for fresh water. If I'm the wrong place to ask I apologize. Thank you. I'm in…
