It is not normal for cats to urinate in the water bowl. More information is needed to answer this question as it could be a behavioral or medical issue.
How many cats do you have? Indoor cat only? Age? Sex? Breed? Number of litter boxes in house? Diet? Past medical history? Any other symptoms such as vomiting, polydypsia (drinking more than usual) etc?
Best advise, have your cat examined by a veterinarian.

Can cats and dogs drink water out of the same bowl?
Hi there. I have 3 indoor cats, 2 females and 1 male. They share a water bowl but do not like to share food with each other. Depending on how many cats you have, get the appropriate number of food and water bowls to feed them with, if they decide to share 1 bowl, take the other(s) away. Most cat behaviours vary depending on the sex, age, breed, and basic personality of each feline, making it almost impossible to determine whether or not 1 cat will do what another will. The best way to figure out if your cats will share food and water is to try it.
How do you get your cats to drink out of their water bowl?
Cats have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and can easily detect any decomposing proteins in their food or water. Cats, given the option, will only drink from the freshest water sources such as dripping faucets and toilet bowls.Domestic cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are designed to get their moisture from their food, so will not often drink water out of a bowl or other water source unless very thirsty. Of course, there are many ways of trying to entice a cat to drink more:Feed more wet food: If you are feeding them wet cat food that has a high water content in it, it may be enough for them most of the time. A cat's body consists of about 67% water. Coincidentally, that is approximately the same percentage of water in the prey they catch and eat in the wild. A cat in the wild meets its moisture requirements just from the prey it eats. Wet cat food usually consists of 70% - 80% waterDifferent bowls and Water Fountains: Some cats are allergic to plastic bowls and will avoid them. Many cats will prefer glass or ceramic bowls to plastic, as plastic will start to decay after time and constant use.Another trick is to buy a bowl that circulates the water. Many cats prefer moving water. Investing in a water fountain specially designed for cats is an excellent way of enticing a cat to drink, as the water is constantly moving and kept fresh.Water Freshness and Filtration: Filtered water may help as it filters out all the chlorine and other chemicals in the water, particularly if you live in a 'hard water' area. Our cats think the overflow/drain valve on the water softner is a super place for water!A plastic ball in the water can help cats 'locate' the surface of the water. The theory is that cats cannot see the still surface of the water, so will not attempt to drink from it.Keep replacing the water in their bowl every couple of hours and that should improve their desire to drink out of the bowl, on hot days it may even become simply too warm for them.

Why do dogs prefer fuacet water?
Animals instinctively drink clean water. Cats and dogs, the two most common pets, need plenty of fresh water daily. Cats are quite finicky about their water and like it fresh. The longer the water sits out, the more oxygen it loses. It won't matter what type of water is used in a pet's bowl if the bowl is not cleaned frequently because bacteria can grow from mold in the air in your pet's bowl. Clean the bowl often and keep it filled with fresh, filtered water. Drinking more water can also reduce urinary tract disorders in cats and dogs.
