The steam is generated in a central plant and sent by underground pipes to the surrounding area to heat homes and office buildings. In New York,
, Con Edison, New York's energy utility, supplies the steam that courses through pipes and mains beneath the city and keeps Wall Street warm in the winter. Sometimes the pipes have a small leak, causing the steam to rise through manhole covers and grates. Ray
