You can split a meter reading for unplanned, metered outlets that are shared between two or more properties. Readings for these shared outlets are highlighted in green in the meter reading entry table.

Allocate a proportion of the reading to each property that shares the outlet.

1. Enter the meter reading details as usual. See <u>[Entering a Meter Reading](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MNC/pages/2017722369)</u> for details.
2. Click the  Split Meter Reading button to the right of the entry to open the Split Usage screen. This button only appears if the outlet is shared.
3. Enter the **Usage** for each account. The **Entitlement Remaining** and the **Metered Usage** are provided for your reference.
4. Click **Save** to save your changes.
5. Click **Accept**. This adds the meter reading to the entries table.
6. Click **Save** to save the entries and adjust them as required. See <u>[Correcting, Accepting and Adjusting Meter Readings](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MNC/pages/2017787905)</u> for details.
