For those of us not knowledgeable about steel, what's the advantage of water over a plasma cut?

Plasma anneals the edges?

On edit: I got some family up in Greeley, looks like pickup is OK from other threads, so I'll probably order some steel and pick it up!

Exactly. Edges get softer than the rest of the material.

Yep exactly!

The edge where it is cut looses a percentage of its hardness. In our experience it has been just a few percent. It is a pretty good compromise of cost/performance. We sell a substantial amount more HD plasma than waterjet.

Local Pickup is good to go!

Not surprised, "Plasma cutting" sounds far more techier than "water cutting", so of course people want it because it sounds better.

You need to change your marketing to talk about dihydrogen monoxide cutting. And sprinkle your webpage with nonsense like:

"Our on-site laboratory carefully maintains our hydrogen-oxygen cutting mixture in a precise 2:1 ratio with five-nines of accuracy or better. This assures an accurate, non-annealed edge to the steel, which can happen with plasma cutting.

Our cutting fluid is constantly monitored, and if it exceeds our strict five-nines mixture accuracy, it is immediately disposed of in an ecologically-safe manner and replaced with stock prepared and verified by our laboratory."

You're welcome, and let me place my order before you change your website and raise your dihydrogen monoxide cutting prices.
