I fixed the toilet!

We had our water service line replaced on Monday.  When the water got turned back on, the toilet fill valve wouldn't shut off.  After I replaced it it would shut off, but was running slow.  When I pulled the connector line to inspect it a little disc of hard plastic fell out.  The only thing I can figure is that there was a piece of scrap was left in the old fill valve and when the toilet got flushed while the water was off it got sucked down to the shutoff valve and lodged there.

Anyway, the toilet tank that was taking almost 20 minutes to fill now fills in less than one.
