New Candidate for Goulburn Mulwaree Richard Orchard believes council would be irresponsible to take up 35 million dollars of state government loans.
The money gives council an option now to borrow $31.59 million to build a new sewage treatment works.
Mr. Orchard believes the Sydney Catchment Authority have decided to make Goulburn pay with a risk of dirty water ending up in their river system.
He's also critical of council's consultation process.
The Highlands Source pipeline which is still incompleted was funded by State and Federal Governments to the tune of 80 per cent after council dug their heels in.
Mr. Orchard also says using the remainder of the loan on a multi use complex and calling it a triumph defies belief.
