Huh? Can you rephrase that so we can understand it.

If your husband is not providing a healthy environment for the children, you can leave and file for divorce.Or you can report it to children's services. If you do report it though, there is the possibility the children (if there are 9) may be placed in foster care.

Srry I was in a rush... lastnight we got in a huge fight I told him I was going to leave he said I'm going to leave.. so when he went out the door I locked it
So he came back I or kids wouldn't open the door so he kicked the door open
An I stood in front of door an told him to just leave me alone so he pushed me out of the way... I told him I'm going to take kids an go.
He said good luck.. I told him the water has been shut off for months... he went an turned it back on at the street himself the same day they shut
It off... an I told him I'm going to a family members house that's when he said I'm calling cps on you where ever you go because there is no room for the kids
I said go for it.. BC its better than fighting with u... he won't give me a dime either...

... I told him the water has been shut off for months... he went an turned it back on at the street him self the same day they shut It off ...

That doesn't make sense. If he turned it back on the same day they shut it off, how has it been off for months? Or are you saying that, when you told him it had been off for months, he turned it on and that then they turned it back off again? How is it that he could have been living in the house and not be aware, for months, that there was no running water?

But, to your main question, yes you can take your children with you and leave him. If both of you are the parents, you share full custody. This means that, until there is a court order, either of you can take the children. So you do need some sort of custody order.

And the welfare of the children is the primary concern. Lack of water in one place, and not enough space in the other place. Both issues, and others, can be considered by CPS (or CPA, or whatever it's called there).
