  What the other comments aren’t mentioning is that, as you’ve probably learned, poops steam. Put a lot of poops under the ground (i.e. sewers) and that steam has to go somewhere, due to various complex thermodynamic principles that are probably beyond the scope of this question.

    With respect, I believe you may have confused New York with Cleveland.

    Despite the fact that poo steams if it is really cold outside, I have a strong suspicion they did not build a smoke stack to release a cloud of shit-smelling steam in the city.

      Based on media set in New York, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

    It’s not poop. It’s people running hot water. That hot water needs to go somewhere and that somewhere are the sewers.

    Hot water flowing through the sewers is warmer than the air temps. The air being vented from the sewers is also hot because of the water.

    As the hot air comes into contact with cold air outside of the sewers you see vapor form as the cold air squeezes condensation from the hot air.

  They might be smoke testing the system, looking for leaks! Smoke is pumped into water pipe infrastructure and leaks out of potential cracks or undisclosed/illegal sources (such as a company dumping into the sewer system without disclosing it to the city). They do this so they can locate and fix these sources so the water remains uncontaminated by groundwater seepage.
