Yes, water is considered a fuel contaminant, and can definitely damage a car's engine.
Depending on how much water is in the tank there are a couple of options. If there's not too much water you can pour in a fuel additive like "Heet" or "DryGas". These products contain an alcohol that mixes with the water and allows it to burn off safely. However if there's a lot of water you may have to have the tank removed and either cleaned or replaced.
