Borough of Pompton Lakes Calendar 2020-2021 Information Reference Guide
Fellow residents,
As Mayor of this great community, I am truly honored to be serving as our Town marks its 125th
Anniversary. Pompton Lakes is approximately 2.97 square miles, a relatively small community that
holds a big part of my heart. Neighbors know neighbors, where the talents of our volunteers do not
go unnoticed, assistance by local community religious groups and organizations and I say with pride,
when help is needed overwhelming support is received.
Over the past few months we have been experiencing unprecedented times that are unsettling during
the COVID-19 pandemic and I believe together as a community, we will emerge stronger. I extend my
deepest gratitude to all those who have kept our community safe during these difficult times. While
many of our great traditions within the Town will be paused, may not take place this year or need to
be celebrated differently, I am hopeful our spirit will live on.
I thank the Business Improvement District and the Chamber of Commerce for their involvement and
leadership within our community. I also would like to acknowledge hometown organizations, the Boys
and Girls Scouts, VFW, Tri-County Post, Lakeland Marines, Elks, Rotary and Woman’s Club for their
unwavering commitment and dedication. Front Row Left to Right:

Once social distancing is relaxed, residents should enjoy the parks, fields and sports courts
throughout Pompton Lakes or walk the trails that extend from the north end of Town down through
the south end. The Borough continues to treat the lakes, participates in programs that enhance and
preserve the environment, seek and identify expansion strategies as well as manage open space land.

To comply with the Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program, the Borough is systematically retrofitting storm drain inlets to
meet State standards to eliminate litter and floatable debris into streams and waterways. All inlets have labels with medallions
that say “No Dumping Drains to River” and will continue to be labeled as new inlets are constructed or retrofitted. Yard waste

illegally, please contact the Pompton Lakes Police at 973-835-0400.
Commercial property owners should be aware that the resurfacing or paving of a parking lot will require the upgrading of the
inlets within the paving area and should contact the Borough Engineer, Paul Ferriero, for details on the requirements prior to
doing any work. He may be reached at 908-879-6209.
