Does water usually smoke?

I just moved in. The water was off for a few hours. It turned back on. I let it run. It was yellow til it was clear. I went to boil eggs and there is smoke coming out the water. I have never seen this before as I have boiled water several times.

Who boils eggs? That’s torturing them! 🥺
Pure water can only steam. Smoke can only come from something in the water, and something that burns when heated to such a relatively moderate temperature even while in water is probably not supposed to be in your water or food.

It might also be a sign of a buildup of iron, manganese, copper, or lead. If your water comes from a public system, check to see whether the yellow tint only appears while running cold water or there cleaning the pipes ?

There might be something in the pan that you can't see stuck to the bottom. You might have thought you cleaned it but it is still there. It has happened to me a few times. Or, there might be some food or something on the burner

You might cause the end of the world with your boiled eggs. Pan catches fire and spreads to towns water supplies and the rivers and streams and oceans and theres no way to combat your witchcraft .all for boiled eggs
Maybe because the water is not clean. You have to let it run untill it's clean.

You steam because if it's really smoke, you got a fire
