Increased settlement needs are based on an increase in the population of an area, as happened in the city of Surabaya, the conversion of functions becomes one of the steps to meet the primary needs of the community, namely settlements. In addition, the need for public facilities to meet the secondary needs of the community, however, land conversion is always the origin of environmental damage. Therefore this study aims to find out and analyze the consequences of the conversion of the sepat reservoir area involving the Surabaya City government with the company PT. CS became a luxury housing area and made the sepat reservoir as part of its yard, which had an impact on the closure of the sepat reservoir. This study uses empirical legal research methods and uses a case approach method. The results of this study indicate that there are legal implications of the lack of transparency in the public administration documents of the sepat reservoir, fearing that it would lead to a bad precedent for the administration of government in the city of Surabaya. Implementation of good governance principles by opening the sepat reservoir public administration document in order to provide a sense of security and foster the trust of the Surabaya City residents to the Government.
