Flushing could affect the water city wide.  You may have water during this time, but it may be cloudy and/or rusty colored because of the sediment that has accumulated in the bottom of the lines during the past months.  If you have low pressure or no water, please be patient as flushing may take 15 minutes to ½ hour in your area.
