Right;

We'll divert some of the government money from the lottery into water purification. There will also be new standards that need to be met by plumbing manufacturers in order to save water in toilets etc. Water meters will be placed on all houses; Up until a certain point (the national average say) water will be free, but above that and you will have to pay. This money will go into the further improvement of water and... stuff. This meter is based on the average amount of water per person, so you know, a house with 5 people will allow more than a house with three etc.

There will be a slight raise in taxes in order to support healthcare improvements. The lottery will recieve more advertising in order to help in that way too.

Think that's it. Not worded the best atm, but meh.

Um, I've made a "tidy" version for you to use, if you like.

Water Preservation Bill

Under this bill:

  • Money raised for the government by the national lottery will be diverted into water purification.
  • New standards will be imposed on plumbing manafacturers in order to conserve water used in the household.
  • Water meters will be placed in all houses; water shall be free, but if a household is judged to be using an excessive amount of water, they will have to pay. Money from these payments will be used to fund the schemes implemented under this bill.
  • The meter will be based on the average amount of water used per person, so more "free" water will be allocated to large households (e.g, households with more than 5 members) than smaller households.

In addition to this, there will be a slight increase in taxation in order to support healthcare improvements, and to advertise the national lottery (which, in turn, means more funding the water services).

Is it okay?

PS: I think this bill will deal with both the Water and Healthcare problems. ;)

gg. :)

Yes it deals with both, but it's one of those minor add ons, you know. Water is the priority, but health is added on as an afterthought sort of thing.
