We measured relative positions of the 22 GHz H2O maser components toward the class 0 protostar S106FIR with the VLA. Two clusters of H2O masers were found. The separation between these clusters is approximately 50 AU at position angle = 73° and each cluster is spread over about 10–20 AU The size of the S106FIR maser clusters is unusually compact compared with other known H2O masers associated with outflows of forming stars. The maser emission appears to originate from MHD driven outflow very close to the star.
