Water Prices Surging in Texas

Hurricane Harvey is and will be one of the most expensive natural disasters that has ever hit the U.S. The hurricane had devastating winds and flooded all around the Houston and Dallas area. The prices for water bottles surged to 8.50 per bottle and 99 for a case. In my personal opinion the U.S government should strictly prohibit and regulate prices because even though theres been more than 600 complaints of price surges. There has been little or no change in prices. The economy in those areas will not only suffer from a economic low for the next few years and also will need a period of time to recover. Price surging for basic resources will not only affect the economy negatively as of right now but will just make the economy harder to recover from the expense going to water and gas instead of going into housing or roads in between other expenses required for the recovery and development of those areas.
