Just to make sure, get it looked. A pressure washer might have shoved bacteria from your skin into deep tissue that might cause an infection. Tap water even though it's safe to drink, still has bacteria in it. Take Care.

No, unless there was dirt in the water it's fine. Actully probably good since it's washing away some bacteria from the cut. You're fine unless you don't keep it clean and let it get infected.

no not at all, just make sure you disinfect the cut...only time water is bad for a cut is if you are bleeding heavily and you try and wash blood away, this will result in heavy blood loss

Power washers are dangerous if not used properly as you already know. You should wear long sleeves, long pants, and shoes when you use one. Please be careful.
