You say that like people would stop at multiple locations just to compare prices before buying water. Most people will just go wherever is most convenient, such as their usual supermarket. They're not going to spend the time and money driving around to each supermarket in town.
Also, I'm pretty sure that jacking up prices for water string a heat wave is basically the definition of price gouging.
