I will add a picture of the crest and full description for you to read. BUT for now this is the explanation of the three wavy lines on the Coat of Arms.
According to the Crest of the Arms of the Borough of Keighley it states " The circle with the wavy blue lines at the bottom of the Crest and also repeated in the Shield is the heraldic emblem of water, technically called a fountain and refers to the situation of Keighley in the well-watered valley, the streams of which have greatly tended towards the progress of the town; being of great value for manufacturing purposes. This idea is also borne out by the motto "By Worth" That being the principal stream upon which the banks of Keighley lie."
Hope this helps.
