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.

A 12th century manor house that was once the summer residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury has gone on the market for £3.5 million.
Addington House, in Croydon, south London, comprises six bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen/ breakfast room, utility room, five reception rooms, sauna, cinema, classroom, wine cellar, old bakery and a garage.
To the rear of the property, there is a large pool and terrace overlooking the garden.
The manor house was the summer home of several archbishops such as Charles Manners-Sutton, William Howley, John Bird Sumner, Charles Thomas Longley, Archibald Campbell Tait and Edward White Benson from 1805 until 1896.
