Note that 250.130 (1) is any point on the grounding electrode system but 250.52(A)(1) will tell you that any point beyond 5 ft of where the metallic water pipe enters the building shall not be part of the grounding electrode system.
The most common "fix" here is 406.3(D)

Used to be saying of if you can fish an EGC to the receptacle, why not just fish an NM cable there and do away with the K&T?
But now if you are trying to be code compliant, running the NM cable likely means you need to provide AFCI protection as well - just adding a EGC maybe does not:roll:

Use a 2 wire receptacle to replace the 3 wire receptacle or replace the 3 wire receptacle with a GFI receptacle.
