Abstract:
   We searched for the CS J=2-1 emission towards 30 southern H_2O and OH masers
   with the SEST radio telescope (29 H_2O and H_2O/OH masers and 1 OH maser).
   We detected and mapped 24 CS emitting regions associated probably with 27
   H_2O masers. The C^34^S J=2-1 and CO J=1-0 lines were also observed at the
   grid positions closest to the CS peaks.  Here we present the CS maps and the
   spectra at the peak positions along with the CO and C^34^S spectra.
   We derive the C^34^S column densities in the LTE approximation and discuss
   briefly the spatial and kinematic structure of the sources. The
   association with the IRAS point sources and small scale structure sources is
   examined. We estimate the kinematic distances to the cores and derive
   their sizes, masses and mean densities. The velocity differences between
   the masers and CS cores are analyzed. The CO and CS spectra towards
   several sources demonstrate deep absorption features. We argue that
   they can be due to extended low excitation foreground cloud(s).
