Aircraft X was refused due to open write-up of water spraying into cabin from forward galley coffee maker area during takeoff roll combined with other water system write-ups. Aircraft subsequently swapped to Aircraft Y.This is the second time I have encountered this on Airbus aircraft since Date. A report was filed by me for Aircraft X for Flight XXXX on Date for this very same issue. I have never seen this before in XX years of Airbus flying and now twice in 5 months?Water escaping into any aircraft that is fly-by-wire and which has potential to escape the designed containment systems is a serious issue as well.This issue is particularly dangerous because it occurs during takeoff roll with communication inhibited and ECAMS inhibited. The original incident that I saw in Month was also accompanied by a Vent Extract Fault ECAM which created a distracting unsafe environment as well as we were departing for a foreign airport.
A320 Captain reported refusing the aircraft due to a potable water leak in the forward galley that was spraying into the aircraft on take off roll.
