I didn’t know there was scaling water and steam in a manhole. I’ve never seen that before, is it a New York thing?
its how NYC heats their streets,
Watch any movie where people are out and around NYC day or night. You will see steam coming out up opening in the pavement and the sidewalks. Sometimes the steam is so thick it is like billowing clouds.

Yea NYC has a district heating system where steam is pumped to buildings under considerable pressure three pipes are old and leak, all over the City you see plumes rising out of manholes and also stacks they put over the manholes to raise the steam above head level.
