Five H2O masers were detected in a search of 36 new Herbig-Haro (H-H) objects. Three of the masers are displaced by more than 1 arcmin from the peak of the optical nebulosity. Two of the masers have velocity centroids substantially blueshifted (about 70 km/s) with respect to the velocity of the associated dark cloud. Finally, one of the masers may be related to the H II region NGC 6334, but its nature is unclear. Its large luminosity (about two orders of magnitude larger than other H-H-related H2O masers) and its proximity to an H II region suggest association with an OB star in formation. However, it is also close to a H-H object and possesses a large blueshift never observed in masers related to OB stars, but present in another of the masers reported.
