Nearly two dozen Lisa Lake residents evacuated the Lower Swatara Township area due to rising flood waters Wednesday, as did some Williams Grove Trailer Park community members, PennLive reports.
Lisa Lake resident Lisa Deitz Kulkulsky told Daily Voice that that water has gone down and the property owners are draining the lake, but residents are left with muddy conditions and a strong smell of oil.
The flooding has apparently been a recurring problem at the parks, located near a lake and a creek.
In 2011, rising tides reached the globes of the street lamps in Lisa Lake during Tropical Storm Lee, PennLive says.
