1Opinion of the CourtOpala, J.

1 Two issues are presented on certiorari. The first of these is whether the replacement of a sewer pipeline constitutes an "improvement to real property" within the meaning of the statute of repose in 12 0.8.2001 $ 109. 1 We answer that question in the affirmative. The second issue is whether the invoked statute of limitations in 12 0.8.2001 § 95 2 may be enlarged by the discovery rule. 3 To that question our answer is in the negative.
