  We present a survey in the 6_{16}-5_{23} rotational water transition toward
33 galactic ultracompact HII regions. Maser emission is detected toward 18 of
these sources; two are new detections. High quality spectra are provided for
all 18 sources. We discuss the detection rate of this survey and the
correlation of various maser properties with other physical parameters. In
addition, we report wide-bandwidth (316 km/s), moderate-resolution (~ 3'')
water maser observations of the HH80-81 region. We report the first detection
of water maser emission at the approximate velocity of the molecular core. This
emission is coincident with the extreme tip of the thermal jet, and
well-removed from the much stronger and well-known maser emission at the
position of VLA-3.
