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.

As published
76A Duties of water authorities with respect to water quality.
(1) It shall be the duty of Scottish Water—
(a) when supplying water to any premises for domestic or food production purposes to supply only water which is wholesome at the time of supply; and
(b) so far as reasonably practicable, to ensure, in relation to each source or combination of sources from which Scottish Water supplies water to premises for domestic or food production purposes, that there is, in general, no deterioration in the quality of the water which is supplied from time to time from that source or combination of sources.
(2) For the purposes of this section and section 76B below and subject to subsection (3) below, water supplied by Scottish Water to any premises shall not be regarded as unwholesome at the time of supply where it has ceased to be wholesome only after leaving Scottish Water’s pipes.
(3) For the purposes of this section where water supplied by Scottish Water to any premises would not otherwise be regarded as unwholesome at the time of supply, that water shall be regarded as unwholesome at that time if—
(a) it has ceased to be wholesome after leaving Scottish Water’s pipes but while in a pipe which is subject to water pressure from a main or which would be so subject but for the closing of some valve; and
(b) it has so ceased in consequence of the failure of Scottish Water , before supplying the water, to take such steps as may be prescribed for the purpose of securing the elimination or reduction to a minimum of any prescribed risk that the water would cease to be wholesome after leaving Scottish Water’s pipes.
(4) The provisions of this section shall apply in relation to water which is supplied by Scottish Water whether or not the water is water which Scottish Water is required to supply by virtue of any provision of this Act.

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.
