Get a big pump!
Actually that is just what they do around here. No pouring into
undisturbed soil. They dig the hole and keep it pumped out, place a form
in the hole, do the pour, keep pumped out until the initial cure (3 days
to a week), remove the forms, back fill, and let set for the final cure.
At least that's what the construction companies do around here.
Throughout the county the water table runs from a foot to about 3'
although it's usually lowest by the end of Summer to mid Fall.
