Holy Seeping Strata! HELP!!!

Okay, here's the situation.

We're building a patio up against a fairly new (1 year old) foundation. When excavating, we ran across an area of spongy soil. So... went about excavating it down to firm earth, but hit a seam of soil that weeps water! Filled the hole to about 4" with water. It did stop seeping, but... what to do now? Is it possible that it was just an area that had trapped water for a year???

Not sure how to proceed from here.

HELP!!!
