    CSI's New Business Membership Program

    In early 2025, CSI officially launched our Business Membership Program to engage local businesses in protecting the health of our streams, lakes, and watersheds.

    This new initiative offers businesses opportunities for community engagement, recognition, and branding— all while supporting our water quality monitoring programs, our outreach and education initiatives, and our ability to offer water testing services to hundreds of residents and business owners each year.

    Click here to view our inaugural 2025-2026 Business Membership Partners.

    Why become a Business Member of CSI?

    • You understand that water quality is critical to the residents and economy of the Finger Lakes region.
    • Your business’s membership will underscore your support of efforts to monitor the health of our most precious regional resource for current and future needs.
    • CSI relies on donations to maintain its water quality monitoring and science education programs.
    • Your support is critical to maintaining and expanding our programs, including our water quality database.
    • The data that are collected and organized by CSI are used by municipalities and researchers working on long-term solutions to maintain the health of our lakes, streams, broader watershed — and the longer term economic health of our beloved region.
