We present preliminary results of a two-epoch VLA survey for water maser activity associated with young stars in several H II regions: NGC 2264, S140, M16, and M20. In all, we detected 4 masers previously reported in the literature and 4 previously unknown. Of those previously unreported, 3 show clear association with active star formation. In M20, we found a ~1 Jy maser coincident with a 2MASS K-band point source. This object is not visible at shorter wavelengths. This maser appears to be previously undetected. We tentatively identify this object as a heavily obscured YSO. In M16, we detected 3 new masers in and around the columns in the Eagle Nebula. One of the masers is not associated with any obvious optical, near-infrared, or radio emission. As yet, we do not have an identification for this source. The other two masers are associated with cloud cores seen in sub-mm SCUBA images of White et al. (1999). We discuss the significance of these protostars in the star formation environment of M16.
