I don't think that is very much water but of course any amount is not a good thing. I would guess you have a much larger amount of water rolling around the bottom of your fuel tank. Not a huge concern in your car as the tank is plastic and won't rust.

I personally would run a couple of cans of alcohol through the system to try to eliminate the water. I don't like alcohol laying around in a stored car as I have read it has an adverse effect on fuel injection components when allowed to linger in the system (I always avoid fuel with ethanol).
