An apparatus includes a housing, a valve located within the housing, the valve being adapted to fluidly connect to an external toilet and an external water supply that provides water to the toilet, and a water sensor. The valve includes an open position, in which the water supply is enabled to supply water to the toilet, and a closed position, in which the external water supply is prevented from supplying water to the toilet. The water sensor is electrically connected to the valve and is operable between an inactivated state, in which the water sensor is substantially dry, and an activated state, in which the water sensor is subjected to an amount of water. When the water sensor is in its activated state, the valve is moved to its closed position to cut off the water supply to the toilet.
