I'd stick something (pole, string with weight) down there to see how deep it goes.

My first thought as well. Tie a heavy lead fishing weight onto the end of a cotton string. Slowly lower the weight until you fell the string slacken. Mark the string. Pull it up, check the cotton end for any smell or evidence of water. See how deep it is by measuring it.
Of course you could just call the foundation guys and see wha they have to say about it.
If they don't know what it is I would call the City water people and see if they have a clue.
