"User-friendly supply unit
Our primary goal in developing the T2 pedestal was to create an attractive and user-friendly supply unit for power and water at marinas, harbours and camping sites.
The pedestal is available with 2, 4 or 6 power outlets with the possibility of one- or three-phase."

none/Power and Water outlet/Power and water pedestal
Unless this is on a list, it doesn't really have a name in use. Marinas and harbours talk about power and water supply but do not generally name the object you plug into. It's just taken for granted that there's something there other than a pair of bare wires and a bucket. "all berths have 220 V and water supply". "500 berths, fully serviced with power and water"
If you really want to, you could call it a pedestal…

Example sentence:
The marina slips can accommodate vessels from 20 to 150 feet and offer 30 to 100 amp power and water.
