Midwest English
In Wisconsin we use faucet for that metal thing above the sink which provides water. Tap is often used for water. Although you get beer on tap, which refers to the tapper that is pounded into a keg. Wisconsin English can be odd, some people here still say "bubbler" for the water fountain from which one drinks directly. Bubbler refers to the antiquated form of drinking fountains which were unsanitary and no longer used. Spigot is usually outside and may even be on an old fashion water pump or fire hydrant.
