a civil action in the name of the water board against such  owners.  The
city,  and  any  state  agency shall be subject to the same fees, rates,
rents or other charges under the same conditions as other users of  such
water system or sewerage system, or both, as the case may be. Tax exempt
organizations  shall  be  charged according to the provisions of chapter
six hundred ninety-six of the laws of eighteen hundred eighty-seven,  as
amended  by  chapters eight hundred ninety-three and eight hundred nine-
ty-four of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty and by  provisions  which
may  by  law  extend  the provisions of such chapters from time to time;
PROVIDED THAT VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS, AS DEFINED IN SECTION FOUR HUNDRED
