Motorists in downtown Irwin will see new parking meters in the near future, and a rate increase.
The borough was to receive an order of 200 refurbished digital meters Friday from Take A Powder Inc. of Paterson, N.J., said Stacie Santimyer, assistant borough manager.
Council on April 14 approved buying the meters for $13,000, rather than making multiple smaller purchases and spreading out the cost. By buying 200 digital meters, Irwin will have 10 in reserve, said Shari Martino, borough manager.
New meters were needed because the old meters were malfunctioning and replacement parts were difficult to find, Justin Kachmarek, borough planning and zoning director, previously told council.

The 2021 budget of $4.79 million raises taxes three mills.
Irwin Council approved the budget Wednesday, which raises the tax rate from 20 mills to 23 mills.
Two of the three additional mills will be devoted to the general fund, while one mill will be designated as a fire tax, with the revenue allocated to the Irwin Volunteer Fire Department for capital expenditures.
Justin Mochar, Irwin fire chief, has said the fire department wants to build a new fire hall within the next two years.
Councilwoman Gail Macioce was the only member who voted against the spending plan. Following the meeting, Macioce said she did not believe the residents should have to pay additional property taxes “in light of everything that was the is going on.”
