They solved the problem with the foundation hole flooding, and work has resumed. There is a much larger trash pump up top, and a much larger sump pump down below.
I've taken a picture of the hole from a different angle (parallel to the road, looking west). Those pumps are needed, as there's a pretty good waterfall into the hole on the left side, about a third of the way up, pouring into the center of the green goo at the bottom of the trench.
