Distribution, transmission and related assets
At September 30, 2015, in our regulated distribution segment, we owned an aggregate of 70,218 miles of underground distribution and transmission mains throughout our distribution systems. These mains are located on easements or rights-of-way which generally provide for perpetual use. We maintain our mains through a program of continuous inspection and repair and believe that our system of mains is in good condition. Through our regulated pipeline segment we owned 5,477 miles of gas transmission and gathering lines as well as 111 miles of transmission and gathering lines through our nonregulated segment.
Storage Assets
We own underground gas storage facilities in several states to supplement the supply of natural gas in periods of peak demand. The following table summarizes certain information regarding our underground gas storage facilities at September 30, 2015:
