The words ''affiliated company'', as appearing in this section, shall be defined as in section eighty-five of chapter one hundred and sixty-four except that, in construing the definition in said section eighty-five for the purposes hereof, the words ''a company subject to this chapter'' shall mean a company as defined in section one of this chapter. A water company failing to file a copy or statement as required herein shall forfeit five dollars for each day during which such failure continues. All such forfeitures may be recovered by an information in equity brought in the supreme judicial court by the attorney general, at the relation of the department, and when so recovered shall be paid to the commonwealth.
