We present water maser observations toward IRAS 23033+5951 carried out with the VLA-EVLA in the A configuration. In order to study the spatio-kinematical distribution of the water masers detected in the region, we made a simple geometrical and kinematical model based on the conical equation. We find that the water masers are tracing a rotating and contracting circumstellar disk of about 110 AU around a very young source of 18 M, which has not enough ionizing photons to be detected at centimeter wavelengths.
