Is there some sort of timer valve available, that would prevent the toilet
tank from refilling for, say, fifteen or twenty minutes after a flush?

Sounds like you may be suffering from a low flow toilet that has a poor
design as most did when first implemented and some do now?

If that is the case you may want to replace it with one of the much
better performing models that are available.

Also need to watch out that nobody uses one of the chlorinated
"disinfectant" tablets.
If anybody isn't aware, look for "blue goo" in the Toiletology 101
series.
