Galactic H2O masers are associated either with the circumstellar shells of late-type stars or with star-forming regions (SFRs). Previous surveys for H2O masers had revealed relatively few near the Galactic Center (GC). We report on the continuation of a survey using the VLA to make 22.2 GHz observations of IRAS point sources which lie within 2° of the GC and which have either 12 μm or 25 μm flux > 8 Jy. Taylor, Morris and Schulman (TMS, 1992, AJ, 106, 1978) previously observed 97 of 342 candidate sources. We have observed 160 more and plan to complete the survey in early 1995.
