Competition and Service (Utilities) Act 1992
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
47 Pipe-laying by water or sewerage undertaker in area of another such undertaker.
In section 192 of the Water Industry Act 1991 (interpretation of Part VI of that Act), the following subsections shall be inserted after subsection (3)— (3A) A relevant undertaker proposing to exercise any of its powers under section 158 or 159 above outside its own area shall, if subsection (3B) below applies, give notice of its proposal to the water undertaker or (as the case may be) sewerage undertaker for the area in question and, if that subsection applies, shall not carry out its proposal— (a) without the consent of that other undertaker; or (b) where that other undertaker refuses to give its consent, or fails to give its consent before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which it is notified of the proposal, without the consent of the Director. (3B) This subsection applies where the proposal is to lay— (a) a water main which is not intended to be— (i) a trunk main; or (ii) a water main used solely for the purpose of supplying water otherwise than for domestic purposes; or (b) a sewer which is intended to be a public sewer but not a storm-water overflow sewer.

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.
