Queensland's Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said the result was concerning due to the unknown cause of the positive results.
"We have had several weeks worth of negative results at this wastewater testing location since the Brisbane Youth Detention cluster," Dr Young said.
"There is a very real possibility this wastewater result is a sign of one or more undetected positive COVID-19 cases in the Ipswich community, and we are treating this seriously."

Hungary's Orban under fire as virus second wave bitesA spike in the number of COVID-19 cases in some European countries has sparked fears of a second wave of infections. The countries include Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Spain, and the UK. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) stated that between Sept. 29 and Oct. 4, the daily case numbers in the European Union and the UK reached record highs of more than 71,000 infections. Several restrictions have been imposed in major cities to curb the uptick in the cases. Coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID - 19 ) is a contagious respiratory and vascular (blood vessel) disease. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2 )

Dr Young said viral shedding from a COVID-19 case that is no longer infection could occur for several weeks after someone had recovered from the illness.
The sample was taken last week as part of a research program being undertaken by Queensland Health, the University of Queensland and the CSIRO.
Water from Ipswich, Camira, Carole Park, Ellen Grove and Springfield feeds into the treatment plant at Carole Park.
A Queensland Health spokesman said the Ipswich Hospital's Fever Clinic was ready to expand its hours if needed.
Dr Young said anyone with any symptoms, no matter how mild, should get tested immediately.
"If there is a case in the community, it is critical we detect it through our testing mechanisms as quickly as possible." she said.
Meanwhile, Queensland has recorded two new cases of coronavirus in the past 24-hour testing period.
They are a 45-year-old man who returned from the Philippines and a woman in her 40s who flew in from Papua New Guinea.
Both are in quarantine in Cairns.
