Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
As published
125 Construction and availability of sewers.
(1) A reference in Part I of this Act to the construction of a sewer includes a reference to the extension of an existing sewer.
(2) For the purposes of sections 64(2) and 66(1) above, a building or proposed building—
(a) is not deemed to have a sufficient water supply available unless—
(i) it has a sufficient supply of water laid on, or
(ii) such a supply can be laid on to it from a point within 100 feet of the site of the building or proposed building, and the intervening land is land through which the owner of the building or proposed building is, or will be, entitled to lay a communication pipe, and
(b) is not deemed to have a sewer available unless—
(i) there is within 100 feet of the site of the building or proposed building, and at a level that makes it reasonably practicable to construct a drain to communicate with it, a public sewer or other sewer that the owner of the building or proposed building is, or will be, entitled to use, and
(ii) the intervening land is land through which he is entitled to construct a drain.
(3) The limit of 100 feet does not apply, for the purposes of subsection (2) above, if the local authority undertake to bear so much of the expenses reasonably incurred in—
(a) constructing, and maintaining and repairing, a drain to communicate with a sewer, or
(b) laying, and maintaining and repairing, a pipe for the purpose of obtaining a supply of water,
as the case may be, as is attributable of the fact that the distance of the sewer, or of the point from which a supply of water can be laid on, exceeds 100 feet.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
