Most replies are incorrect either partially or entirely. I have struggled with this myself for several hours and will present to you my work.
As another pointed out, you can chain bathtubs. The bathtubs must be exactly above eachother. This may already be the case in your building's floorplan.
Check "the project zomboid map project" (google it) - and find the floorplan of the building you're in to confirm.
HOWEVER
Bathtub chaining only works for the first 3 floors.
So what are your options for the lower floors?
Get clever.
In my case, I used wall water fountains, and put the fountains on an exterior wall of the building.
Then, on the floor above the water fountain, I sledgehammered the wall out, put down some wood floors to make a shelf, put a rain collector barrel on the shelf, and it works.
After all. The building may be 7 stories, but if I make a shelf, it doesn't matter. Just make sure there aren't any balconys above your new "balcony".
Yet again, the map website will help.
Another option could exist with more clever chaining of bathtubs allowed you to walk the water fountain a couple tiles in from the edge. However, the max you can get is probably 4 tiles, and that's with custom placing bathtubs on the floors above. Still, in some cases, that might be your best option.
One final bit, to plumb the bathtubs - you plumb one square PER FLOOR. As in, don't plumb both squares on the same floor!
Good luck!
