XIANG:
Yes, in your PDB file you need to set the occupancy for this water to 0.5.
I would also fixed the position of this water molecule on the two-fold axis 
before any positional refinements, if it is not done automatically by the 
program (atoms at special positions should be automatically fixed in CNS). 
See the "select fixed atoms" field in the input files. For individual 
B-factor refinement (bindividual.inp) and occupancy refinement of your 
waters (qinidividual.inp), do not fix this atom, but remember that your can 
not have occupancy more than 0.5 for this water molecule.

Igor
