Either the sensor is faulty or not working like it should. I would first check the connections for the washer pump, and then try and wiggle a stick (or coat hanger) in there... sometimes the sensor gets off alignment... and just needs to be pushed back into place.... if all doesn't work.. then unplug the sensor.
I THINK its an open circuit type system, so only if its touching, the warning's comes on... you might be fine by unplugging the sensor. Im working off memory here, and I might be mixing up between my older car with the LS.

Low Washer Fluid
I had the same problem last summer. I bent the black plastic cover in front of the wheelwell on the driver side to reach the wire that goes to the bottom of the tank, I wiggled it without any luck and just unplugged it and the message in the dash weas gone. I know approx. how much washer fluid I have and it is not an inconvenience for me to have the thing unplugged. I have a `99 LS.
