Most stores had signs in their windows by Wednesday evening saying they were sold out of water but say they will have more in-stock.
City officials are also reminding retailers that price gouging is illegal during a state of emergency. They are asking anyone who is a victim of this to email them at: communications@lethbridge.ca
