The water will be (probably always has been) highly filtered. Since it is not the H2O that is actually radioactive, but instead the particles in it, it might be able to be filtered/distilled enough to use in film manufacture. Of course this will concentrate the radioactive particles.
The drinking water in Tokyo has been declared unsafe for babies to drink due to radioactivity, and thus already contains enough radioactive particles to cause problems in making the film.
