Treated municipal wastewater that meets relevant standards can be reused for landscape irrigation. However, low strength influent results in insufficient nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the effluent and water quality fluctuations, thereby affecting landscape irrigation efficiency. Accordingly, a wastewater treatment plant in Ma’ anshan City was taken as the research object. Based on the statistical analysis of its water quality and quantity monitoring data from 2021 to 2023, combined with the general survey of drainage units and investigation of pipe network structure, the key factors leading to the low strength influent were identified, and targeted regulation countermeasures were proposed. The analysis showed that the influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration had a significant negative correlation with monthly precipitation (r = –0.91, P < 0.001). The low influent strength on sunny days was mainly caused by the leakage of the sewage pipe network and the backflow of pollution interception facilities. Structural defects of the pipe network led to a large amount of groundwater infiltration, with a daily average infiltration volume of 4 500 m³/d on sunny days and increasing to 7 200 m³/d on rainy days; 5 intercepting wells had river water backflow, which further diluted the influent strength. The mixed connection of rainwater and sewage pipe networks was the dominant factor leading to low influent strength during rainy days, and 162 mixed connection points caused a large amount of rainwater to invade the sewage system. In addition, the investigation of 96 residential communities showed that about 47% of the drainage units had severe internal sewage-stormwater mixed connection (the ammonia nitrogen strength in the stormwater pipes of 39 communities was > 10 mg/L). Therefore, the main causes of low influent strength in the wastewater treatment plant in the study area were the functional and structural deficiencies of facilities such as the sewage and stormwater pipe network, the need for improvement in the source sewage-stormwater mixed connection and supervision of drainage units, the functional defects of interception facilities, and the low level of system intelligence. In response to this, targeted regulation strategies are proposed to ensure nutrient stability and water quality reliability when effluent is used for landscape irrigation, which including comprehensively carrying out drainage pipe network detection and non-excavation repair, promoting the source rectification of drainage units and the supervision of drainage permits, and implementing the intelligent transformation of interception facilities and pumping stations, so as to systematically improve the sewage collection efficiency and influent strength.
