Experimental data on the width of temporal signals from a Water Cherenkov Detector (WCD) prototype for the Pierre Auger Observatory are presented. In the domain of signals induced by single muons the width is dominated by the detector properties ("instrumental" width). The same follows for the width of signals of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with small core distances. The small percentage of signals induced by the EASs with core distances large enough, has experimental width wider than instrumental. The experimental distribution of EAS signal widths is presented. This result is used to optimize the WCD local trigger that should reject rate of the low energy EASs at small core distances. Events with width T50° 25 ns (T50° s the interval at which the signals integral charge rises from 10% to 50%) were selected on event-by-event basis for further analysis of the signal temporal structure.
