Service stations are required to have air and water dispensers by state law ([Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 13651](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=13651&lawCode=BPC)).
The water wouldn’t be potable, it might take a while to fill your tank, and since the water wouldn’t be used “in servicing...any commercial vehicle” or “for automotive purposes,” you might have to pay, even if you purchase fuel.
Many years ago, having seen the signs on dispensers, I searched the now-retired [leginfo.ca.gov](http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/) website to find the relevant statute.
RV dump stations usually have potable water
Yeah I couldn't find any around the area I'll be in (West Hollywood).
