Richmond's Department of Public Utilities is looking for an actor to inhabit its water-drop mascot costume.

James River, or "JR," is a drop of water that wears a bowtie and is an ambassador for the DPU.

Applicants must be at least 5-foot-8, and comfortable around children. If hired, the job pays $25 an hour at appearances.
