@Redlory, welcome to the forum.
I have yet to walk this route, ( planned for next year) but everything that I have read (here, YouTube, Reddit etc) says that potable water is readily available.
In France it is very common to find a potable water source in the cemetery.
That said, I will be carrying a filter because I already own it, it only weighs 80gm, and I intend to camp along the way. (The filter means I don't have to carry as much water)
If I was simply walking from Gite to Gite I would not bother.

Yes, in my experience it is, and I’ve walked it twice. I’ve not had to buy water or to filter it. Readily available along this route.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

When I have been hiking in 2017 there where enough places to get water for me.
The fountains are marked if you should/can't drink the water. At the cemeteries there is usually a tap with drinking water. When you go into a Restaurant for a coffee, they will refill your bottles when you ask for it.
You may check the distances between the towns with Camino de Le Puy
