Water dispenser
Please check out the following sentence. In addition, I'm not sure whether the word "sink" is correct.
(1) To pretend the drain of the water dispenser from being clogged, please don’t litter residue, dregs, or chippings into the sink.
(2) What's the difference between "water dispenser" and "drinking fountain" ?
Usually in an office, which one would we choose to use?

Hi
Sink is fine in this context. Usually it means something like the kitchen or bathroom sink, but it can also mean any similar thing that catches liquid. A water dispenser usually has a tray to collect drips of water and this can be called a sink. If people put litter in it then, of course, that looks pretty terrible
Best regards, Dave

PS
But I'm not sure about chippings..
In UK English, these are small pieces that have been struck from a piece of wood or stone. Who is chopping wood or carving stone by your water dispenser?
Or does it have a US meaning?
