Yes - you need to place that lot on higher ground so it is above the top of the water table.

As @Karritz says it needs to be on higher ground. You can
1. pick a different lot that is already on higher ground
2. or try to place it on the lot you already chose by using "SetImportedTerrainOffset
positive number". It will place the lot on a plateau. Hopefully you can use terrain smoothing tools to make it look more natural. You will probably need to experiment with the number to get it high enough so there is no water in the basement but not so high it looks weird. Be sure to use "SetImportedTerrainOffset 0" when you are finished so that every lot you add to this town is not placed on the same kind of plateau. The smoothing out works better if the lot where you are placing the house is larger than the one being placed.
