Several out-of-city property owners led a successful effort to whack and sack those fees, which are known in full as water access charges (WAC) and sewer access charges (SAC).
About 500 other owners of undeveloped properties with access to municipal water or sewer lines, most of them within the city limits, will continue to pay the fees, totaling $136.80 for water and $277.56 for sewer annually.
City Attorney Tom Cloud said he thinks the city has the authority to levy the fees on the out-of-city property owners. But after a public protest, the council on June 13 agreed not to levy the access charges on undeveloped property outside the city.

You are right
The ability of water to form strong hydrogen bonds gives it very strong intermolecular attraction, leading to the other listed properties (except 3, which is kind of redundant--a hydrogen bonding interaction is just a specific, especially strong, type of dipole interaction).
Water has strong hydrogen bonding
Answer:
(2) strong hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces.
Since the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the molecule carry opposite (though partial) charges, nearby water molecules are attracted to each other like tiny little magnets. The electrostatic attraction between the ð+ hydrogen and the ð- oxygen in adjacent molecules is called
it isn't (1). you said "water". that includes solid, liquid and vapor. not just ice.
it isn't (4) there are many substances that have similar or lower mw. methane for example
it isn't (5). it's density isn't all that high
leaving (2) and (3).
hydrogen bonding explains why ice
